Following the recent Inauguration Day, S&P 500 futures have shown slight gains as investors reacted positively to President Trump's comments indicating that trade policies may not be as strict as previously anticipated. Oracle shares rose significantly after the announcement of a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment initiative called "Stargate" involving OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank. Additionally, Netflix shares surged after the company surpassed 300 million paid memberships. United Airlines also reported a positive earnings outlook, with its shares rising in after-hours trading. Despite these positive developments, caution remains due to potential retaliatory trade measures.
