U.S. stock futures are mixed in premarket trading with weakness in technology stocks weighing on the Nasdaq-100 (NDX).

The moves come after the Dow Jones Industrial Average settled at another record high on Wednesday while the S&P 500 (SPX) and Russell 2000 (RUT) fell from intraday records.

Shares of memory chip stocks Western Digital (WDC) and Sandisk (SNDK) are sharply lower post earnings after giving underwhelming guidance. Oil prices are 1% higher near $76 a barrel but are down about 12% this week with encouraging signs that tensions in the Middle East could ease.

Investors will continue to focus on geopolitical tensions, earnings and economic data including today’s Jobless Claims.
