Dow Jones Today: Stock Futures Mixed, Little Changed After Dow Sets All-Time High
Stock futures were mixed and little changed Tuesday, a day after major equities indexes ended sharply higher following the weekend capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro.
Futures associated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 were down 0.2% and fractionally lower, respectively, while Nasdaq 100 futures ticked 0.1% higher.
The three major indexes soared Monday, two days after the U.S. military seized Maduro, who had been indicted during the first Trump administration on drug-trafficking charges and pleaded not guilty in federal court in New York yesterday. The blue-chip Dow added almost 600 points and set intraday and closing record highs, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq snapped a five-session losing streak.
Yesterday, shares of Chevron (CVX), the only U.S.-based oil company currently active in Venezuela, surged more than 5% to pace the Dow, and those of several other oil producers, refiners, and oilfield-services firms also rose sharply. Chevron stock was up nearly 1% further in premarket trading Tuesday, while West Texas Intermediate futures, the U.S. crude oil benchmark, were 0.4% higher at $58.55 a barrel.
Shares of Nvidia (NVDA), the world’s most valuable public company, and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) rose less than 1% apiece after their chief executives spoke at CES 2026 in Las Vegas and announced new AI chips and other developments.
Gold and silver futures, which jumped a respective 3% and 7% yesterday, advanced a further 0.2% to $4,460 an ounce and 1.4% to $77.70 an ounce.
The 10-year Treasury yield, which influences interest rates on a variety of commercial and consumer loans, rose above 4.18% from Monday’s close below 4.17%.
Bitcoin was trading around $93,700, down from overnight highs near $94,400. The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the value of the greenback against a basket of foreign currencies, advanced 0.2% to 98.43.
