Closing Bell Movers: Microsoft jumps 9%, Meta up 12% on earnings beats

In the opening 90 minutes of the evening session, U.S. equity futures are notably higher thanks to more positive earnings from mega-cap Tech. S&P500 futures are up 0.8% above 6,440 while Nasdaq is up 1.1% above 23,730 – suggesting an all-time high for the tech-heavy index. Dow Industrials are up a more modest 0.2% above 44,700. In commodities, WTI Crude Oil is up another 0.5% above $70 per barrel – a one-month high – while Metals are highlighted by volatility in Copper. The front-month contract was down nearly 20% today below $4.70 – a two-month low – after President Trump unveiled 50% tariffs on copper products but not on the raw material itself.

Strong earnings and all-time highs being made afterhours by Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) following blowout Q2 results by both companies have more than made up for the late-session malaise on Wednesday following a non-committal outlook by Fed Chair Powell in terms of easing at the next FOMC policy meeting in September, even though today's decision contained two dissenting votes calling for a cut. CME Fed Funds futures projections for a September rate cut have risen sharply after the Fed Chair's presser from over 60% going into today's decision to just over 40%.
