U.S. stock futures edge higher
Aug 6 2025 5:37PM
U.S. stock index futures edged higher Wednesday, bouncing after the previous session’s weakness with investors assessing more corporate earnings as well as weaker-than-expected economic data.

At 05:45 ET (09:45 GMT), Dow Jones Futures gained 145 points, or 0.3%, S&P 500 Futures rose 15 points, or 0.2%, and Nasdaq 100 Futures climbed 17 points, or 0.1%.

The main averages fell in the prior session, amid concerns about the health of the U.S. economy, especially in the wake of Friday’s weak jobs data. The broad-based S&P 500 registered its fifth down day of the last six and the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its sixth negative session of the past seven.
