Stock futures are little changed as investors look to close out holiday-shortened week higher: Live updates
Published On Dec 26, 2024, 6:04 PM
Stock futures were mostly flat as investors are looking to end the holiday-shortened week on a strong note. Despite slight declines in futures for the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, the major U.S. indexes showed weekly gains. December has seen positive performances, especially from tech stocks like Tesla, Alphabet, and Apple, with expectations for a continued ‘Santa Claus rally’ into the new year. The Dow is facing a rough December, but overall, market sentiment is optimistic for a stronger 2025.
