Stock futures posted strong gains early Wednesday surging in commodity prices eased while the war in Ukraine continues.
Stock futures rose Wednesday as traders tried to build on the sharp gains from the previous session, while Wall Street awaited the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy decision.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 359 points, or 1.1%, while S&P 500 futures rose 1.2%. Nasdaq 100 futures jumped 2%.
$Micron Technology (MU.US)$ was among the best-performing S&P 500 stocks in the premarket, gaining more than 4%. $Starbucks (SBUX.US)$ shares also climbed 3.5%, while Dow member $Boeing (BA.US)$ advanced 2.3%.
Futures were rallying in part on signs that a ceasefire could be possible in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a peace agreement was beginning to “sound more realistic” in an address to the nation Tuesday. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the BBC there was “some hope of reaching a compromise.” Russian State media quoting the Kremlin echoed similar sentiments overnight.
The war between Ukraine and Russia has sent ripples through global financial markets, sending commodity prices sharply higher and stocks lower. However, some commodities have cooled off in recent days, while the U.S. equity market tries to find its footing.
U.S. oil traded at around $95.70 per barrel Wednesday, after topping a multiyear high of $130 earlier this month.
Stocks, meanwhile, are coming off a stellar session in which the Dow surged nearly 600 points, while the S&P 500 snapped a three-day losing streak. $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$
