Closing Bell Movers: Meta up 8%, Microsoft down 7% on earnings

US equity futures are mixed in the opening hour of the evening session as markets digest corporate earnings out of Big Tech – Meta (META) and IBM (IBM) are faring the best out of high-profile names, both gaining 7% afterhours, while Microsoft (MSFT) is slipping despite topping estimates following in-line guide given on the earnings call. Tesla (TSLA) was up mid-single-digits on earnings, though shares had pared some gains afterhours as the company indicated that 2026 capex would dwarf last year, calling 2026 a “new book” rather than a “new chapter” for the company. Dow Industrials futures are down 0.3%, S&P e-minis are off by 0.2%, and Nasdaq 100 futures are slipping by 0.1%.

Precious metals continue to soar in the wake of US Dollar weakness sustained further by the FOMC decision featuring two dovish dissenters. Gold is now above $5,500 while Silver trades north of $118 per ounce. Energy is also waking up to the rally in commodities as WTI Crude Oil tops $63 per barrel – the highest level since September.
