Svmuu reported on Friday that U.S. stock index futures moved higher ahead of the market open, driven primarily by optimism surrounding SpaceX's upcoming listing. Additionally, expectations of a potential temporary peace agreement in the Iran conflict also boosted market sentiment. Nasdaq stated that SpaceX will be listed on the exchange at 9:50 AM Eastern Time, with trading set to begin at 10:00 AM.
Pre-IPO derivatives trading indicates that, with retail investors flocking in, the stock's expected gain could range between 30% and 50%. Todd Sohn, Chief ETF Strategist at Strategas Securities, said stock index futures are rising due to "a combination of factors, including softer oil prices, the SpaceX frenzy, and the fact that the market is still built on strong earnings." Regarding SpaceX, he noted, "Demand has clearly surged to its peak." (Jin Shi)
