U.S. stock futures experienced an upward trend on Monday night following a significant recovery in major averages during regular trading hours. At 10:06 p.m. EDT on October 13, the Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and S&P 500 Index futures rose by 0.24%, 0.23%, and 0.33%, respectively.
Major Recoveries in Stock Indices
Earlier in the day, both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones saw notable gains, with the S&P 500 recording its largest daily increase since May 27. This performance marked a turnaround for the Dow, which ended a five-day losing streak, achieving its best gain since September 11 and recovering about two-thirds of its previous decline.
Investor Sentiment Boosted
The market rebound was partly attributed to a reassuring message from President Donald Trump on Truth Social. His statement, “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine,” calmed investor fears linked to escalating trade tensions between the United States and China.
Looking Forward: Earnings Reports
Investors are now looking ahead to key corporate earnings reports. Major banking institutions like JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) are expected to release their third-quarter financial results soon. These reports are anticipated to provide further insights into market conditions.
- Nasdaq 100 Futures: +0.24%
- Dow Jones Futures: +0.23%
- S&P 500 Futures: +0.33%

As investors prepare for these developments, maintaining awareness of macroeconomic events will be crucial for making informed decisions.
