US equity futures climbed as investors speculated on a potential shift towards a more accommodative monetary policy. This optimism favored companies with strong margin profiles, such as Republic Services, which reported a 10.2% revenue increase and an 18.9% margin, drawing investor interest. Meanwhile, Ross Stores saw an 8% rise following robust earnings, whereas Veeva Systems dropped approximately 9% due to margin shortfalls. The semiconductor sector and select industrials also experienced gains amid improved liquidity and demand visibility.
