Published On Nov 4, 2024, 6:01 PM

The stock market is experiencing slight upticks in futures trading as Wall Street prepares for the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Dow Jones futures rose by 25 points, indicating a potential positive start. Notable stock movements included Palantir Technologies, which surged by 13% after reporting strong quarterly results, while NXP Semiconductors faced a decline due to a soft outlook. Overall, the market may see fluctuations leading up to the election, which could significantly influence year-end stock performance. Investors are also awaiting the Federal Reserve's rate decision later this week.

Stock Forecasts

Given the positive earning report from Palantir and the overall market optimism despite election uncertainty, there could be a short-term bullish trend for specific stocks like Palantir.

Considering NXP Semiconductors' downtrend due to a negative outlook, it may face continued pressure in the market shortly after the election.
