NVDA, CRM, SNOW Earnings Could Move Markets
U.S. stock futures are slightly higher in premarket trading and are extending yesterday’s gains. Major stock averages rose on Tuesday as fears about artificial intelligence disruption across several industries dissipated.
Software and cybersecurity stocks also saw a relief rally in the regular session after Anthropic launched new connectors and plugins for its knowledge worker tool, Claude Cowork.
The moves come ahead of Nvidia’s (NVDA) quarterly earnings report, as well as results from software giant Salesforce (CRM) and Snowflake (SNOW), due after the closing bell. Nvidia’s results could still be make-or-break for the direction of the U.S. stock market due to its size within the major indices.
