Futures on Wall Street are extending their recovery from Wednesday, surging sharply in the after-market session. The Dow futures are now up 180 points, the S&P 500 futures are up 50, while the Nasdaq futures are up 280 points led by a strong earnings show from both Microsoft and Meta.

U.S. stock futures traded solidly higher overnight after equity markets ended Wednesday's session on a mixed note. Positive reactions to earnings reports from tech bellwethers Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) offered hope even as traders look ahead to a possible resolution of the tariff crisis.
