US stock futures traded steady on Wednesday, keeping a bid for fresh record highs in play amid revived hopes for interest-rate cuts and the US-brokered ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

S&P 500 futures (ES=F) were little changed after the broad benchmark closed out Tuesday at its highest level since February. Contracts on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) also traded broadly flat on the heels of a winning day.

As of Tuesday evening, there had been no reported strikes between Israel and Iran since initial attacks during the ceasefire prompted Trump to post on Truth Social, "DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS." Indeed, Israel lifted nearly all emergency restrictions in the country, and Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, issued a statement marking "the end of a 12-day war that was imposed on the Iranian people."

Stocks jumped and oil prices slid during the day Tuesday as investors bet the ceasefire would hold. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments before Congress also boosted sentiment. Powell said that the central bank can wait for more economic data before cutting interest rates, but could still act "sooner rather than later."

Investors are looking ahead to Friday's release of the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the May Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report, for more clues as to the central bank's next move. Economists expect "core" PCE to have ticked up compared to April.

    The right premarket move on FedEx

    FedEx (FDX) stock is getting hit premarket after the logistics giant said it expects adjusted first quarter earnings in a range of $3.40 to $4.00 per share. Wall Street had been hoping for $4.03 apiece.

    For the first time in 13 years, the company didn't provide a full-year outlook. Red flag.

    The earnings call was also littered with other red flags, one being China-to-US volumes have fallen off a cliff due to the trade war. The tone of the call didn't suggest this trend has improved at all.

    "We recognize that FedEx is effectively a levered option on global trade dynamics, which remain uncertain and volatile," JP Morgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck said in a note.

    The premarket move feels right. Look for pressure on rival UPS (UPS) and others in the supply chain logistics space.

  • Asia-Pacific markets mixed while investors monitor Middle East ceasefire

    Asia-Pacific equities were mixed overnight Tuesda as investors assessed geopolitical developments and fresh signals from the US Federal Reserve.

    Market sentiment was cautiously optimistic following news of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, reportedly brokered by US President Donald Trump. The agreement has sparked hopes for de-escalation in the region, though investors remain skeptical on the concept of lasting peace.

    In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 (^AXJO) pushed up 0.1% alongside a broader cooling of monthly CPI following the Reserve Bank cutting interest rates.

    South Korea's Kospi (^KS11) held steady, while the tech-heavy Kosdaq (^KQ11) slipped 0.4%.

    Japan’s Nikkei 225 (^N225) inched up 0.3%.

    Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index (^HSI) outperformed much of the region, gaining 0.7%, while China’s CSI 300 (000300.SS) index pushed up 0.5%.

    Traders across the region are also parsing commentary from the Federal Reserve, as markets look for clues on the trajectory of U.S. interest rates amid persistent inflation concerns.
