Stocks advanced with U.S. futures as investors digested a slew of earnings reports and awaited data on U.S. jobless claims.
Contracts on U.S. gauges signaled a rebound from Wednesday's equity losses. Walt Disney Co. surged in premarket trading following better-than-expected results and a restructuring plan that includes job cuts and cost savings. Robinhood Markets Inc. rose on an earnings beat, while toymaker Mattel Inc. fell after its outlook disappointed.
“Investors are shaking off another case of the jitters over how far interest rates will go in the United States, as a raft of better than expected corporate results came in after the bell,” said Susannah Streeter, senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. “I don't think the Fed will cut within this year,” Jun Bei Liu, portfolio manager at Tribeca Investment Partners, said on Bloomberg Television. “The Fed was behind the curve in terms of putting up their interest rate and they certainly are going to be very slow in cutting the interest rate.”
