Morning Movers: iRobot sinks after declaring bankruptcy

Stock futures are edging higher this morning as markets enter the final full trading week of 2025, with investors responding to recent rally attempts and fading tech selloff pressure. Dow futures in particular have been gaining ground, and precious metals like gold and silver have also drawn inflows amid softer dollar conditions.

Last week’s mixed performance and rotation suggests investors are beginning to weigh earnings fundamentals more heavily than lofty growth multiples. Treasury yields have moved sideways after recent volatility, and risk appetite seems to be stabilizing, but only tentatively, as incoming economic indicators and central-bank decisions in both the U.S. and Europe remain key catalysts.

In pre-market trading, S&P 500 futures rose 0.51%, Nasdaq futures rose 0.56% and Dow futures rose 0.48%.
