U.S. stock futures are pointing to a higher open, buoyed by news of an extended ceasefire in the Middle East. With no major economic data scheduled, investor focus is shifting squarely to corporate earnings.
Stocks to Watch:
- Tesla, Inc.: Reports Q1 earnings after the market closes today, with investors closely watching delivery figures and revenue guidance.
- UnitedHealth Group Incorporated: Shares surged 8.5% after the company reported Q1 earnings and revenue that significantly topped analyst estimates.
- The Boeing Company: Reported Q1 results showing higher commercial delivery volume and a narrower loss than anticipated.
- Apple Inc.: Shares fell 2.5% following the major announcement that CEO Tim Cook will step down in September.
Looking ahead, the market's direction will likely be influenced by the details and guidance provided in Tesla's earnings report later today.
