The bulk of U.S. stock futures were higher on Thursday evening, after a strong day for key benchmark indexes, as earnings releases from large technology companies boosted risk appetite.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) rose 3 percent in extended trade after posting Q3 earnings per share of $1.20, above estimates of $1.16, and revenue of $82.96 billion, vs $82.59 billion expected.
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) surged 13.6% after reporting Q2 losses of $0.20 per share, $0.33 worse than the consensus forecast of $0.13. The actual revenue was $121.23 billion, as opposed to the anticipated $119.18 billion.

Significant inflation data and second-quarter employment expenses will dominate Friday's session, along with earnings announcements from Chevron Corp (NYSE:CVX), Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:XOM), and Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) (NYSE:PG).
During Thursday's usual trading day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 332 points, or 1%, to 32,529.6, the S&P 500 increased 48.8 points, or 1.2 percent, to 4,072.4, and the technology-focused NASDAQ Composite increased 130.2 points, or 1.1 percent, to 12,522.6.
This week, risk appetite increased as the Federal Reserve delivered a 75 basis point rate decrease and remained more dovish than expected on Wednesday, and as Thursday's dismal GDP data increased the chances of a Fed pause in interest rate increases.
The 10-Year United States interest rate was 2.671% in the bond markets.
