U.S. stock futures are showing gains as the market enters a shortened Thanksgiving trading week. The Dow Jones futures rose about 150 points, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures also saw around a 0.4% increase. These gains follow last week's positive trend after a significant post-election rally, leading to record closes for major indices. Investors are watching the upcoming corporate earnings reports, particularly from retail and tech companies, amidst a backdrop of mixed economic signals related to inflation and potential policy shifts under President-elect Trump.
