US equities edge higher after President Trump tweets about a potential stock market milestone ahead of the weekend.
US stock futures climbed early Friday after President Trump tweeted about a “new stock market record,” with Dow futures up 0.3%. The index closed 0.4% below its February high, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures gained 0.2% each, though both remain short of prior peaks.
Markets have been volatile amid geopolitical tensions, including stalled US-Iran nuclear talks. A potential framework agreement could drive further gains, though no deal has been confirmed. Traders are watching for developments before the weekend.
Optimism around a possible breakthrough contributed to the uptick, though caution remains over whether negotiations will yield concrete results.
