Dow Jones Average Futures are mildly higher at 39,082, with financial sector momentum helping offset tech softness. Credit markets remain steady, underpinning equities in the near term. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY ) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ: QQQ ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Friday. The SPY was up 0.57% at $661.82, while the QQQ rose 0.41% to $595.97, according to Benzinga Pro data. On Tuesday, Nvidia-backed ( NVDA ) data center operator CoreWeave ( CRWV ) reported signing a $14 billion deal with Meta for the Instagram parent company to access its supply of Nvidia's new Blackwell AI server systems. The move raised questions among some analysts about why Meta would rent access to Nvidia's chips rather than buying them for its own data centers. Dow Jones Average Futures are trading flat at 39,045 after a volatile Asian session, with institutional flows balancing between defensive healthcare equities and growth-heavy industrials. Index futures remain sensitive to Fed rate signals this week.
