US stock futures mixed as Fed support and inflation fears influence markets
US stock futures showed mixed results on Friday morning following record highs reached on Thursday. Market sentiment has been influenced by receding inflation fears and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s commitment to maintaining economic support. Powell recently emphasized his goal to return to a strong economy while downplaying immediate inflation risks.
In Asia, markets experienced mixed results during thin holiday trading in South Korea, Taiwan, and mainland China. The Nikkei average rose 1.30% to a one-month high, aided by a weakening yen, while the Hang Seng index fell 1.01% amid assessments of the Trump-Xi summit.
Geopolitical and corporate developments also impacted markets, including the US blacklisting seven Chinese supercomputing entities and Oracle invoking force majeure for its Project Jupiter data center in New Mexico.
