U.S. stock futures are higher in premarket trading and extending yesterday’s rally.

Tech is leading to the upside after the Nasdaq-100 (NDX) rallied over 3% on Thursday. Amazon (AMZN) is up 11% after reporting better-than-expected second-quarter revenue but Apple (AAPL) is down 7% after missing service revenue. Despite this week’s volatility, the major averages are on track to finish higher.

Oil prices are modestly higher this morning near $84.83 per barrel as hostilities between the U.S. and Iran continue. Investor focus remains on geopolitical tensions and the price of oil into the end of the month.
