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.


At 7:10pm ET (11:00pm GMT), Dow Jones Futures remained steady, while S&P 500 Futures and Nasdaq 100 Futures increased 0.4% and 1.1%, respectively.


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.


Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) slumped 8.5% after announcing Q2 EPS of $0.29, well below analyst estimates of $0.70, on revenues of $15.32 billion as opposed to $17.96 billion.


United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) rose 3.5% after reporting Q2 profits per share of $3.86, above estimates of $3.50, and revenues of $6.29 billion, exceeding estimates of $5.50 billion.

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.
