- Dow futures, alongside S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures, rose at the start of the week, ahead of both corporate earnings and the Fed's rate decision.
- CNBC reported stock futures rising as tech gained and oil prices dropped, while Fortune framed traders as looking on the bright side despite last week's tech-stock carnage.
Why it matters: For traders, the Fed's rate-decision week opened with all three named equity benchmarks—Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq—higher in futures, directly contrasting with the prior week's tech carnage. The added cross-market detail matters because tech gained while oil prices fell, combining an equity rebound with a lower oil-price reading ahead of earnings.
