U.S. stock futures edged higher in early trading today after wall street kicked off the month with broad gains, supported by strong earnings and continued optimism around AI. The Dow Jones rose over 1.1% yesterday, while the S&P 500 gained 0.87% nearing its record high of 7,000, and Nasdaq posted solid advances of 1.38%.
Despite equity strength, risk appetite remained relatively weak, with bitcoin sliding to its lowest level since April and gold and silver extending losses after last week’s sell-off. Investors are now focused on a heavy earnings calendar, especially major tech results.
Gold and silver rebounded on Tuesday after last week’s historic sell-off.

Today, Gold rose over 5% today to $4,900, while silver gained about 9% to $86
India’s Nifty 50 jumped about 3% on Tuesday after India and the U.S. announced a long awaited trade deal that sharply lowers U.S. tariffs on Indian exports. President Donald Trump said reciprocal tariffs would be cut to 18% from 25%, while India agreed to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers on U.S. goods to zero and curb purchases of Russian oil in favor of U.S. supply.
Australia’s central bank raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 3.85%, marking the Reserve Bank of Australia’s first rate hike since November 2023 and reversing three cuts made in 2025. The move, which matched expectations, was driven by inflation reaching its highest level in six quarters and stronger-than-expected domestic demand.
