Stock futures are little changed as Wall Street starts the second half of 2023: Live updates

U.S. stock futures were little changed Sunday night, as traders were set to start the second half of what’s already been a strong year on Wall Street.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose just 8 points. S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures were up marginally as well.

On Friday, the Nasdaq Composite closed out its biggest first-half gain since 1983, surging 31.7%. For the S&P 500, it was the best first half since 2019, rising 15.9%. The Dow also climbed a modest 3.8%.

Those gains come as enthusiasm around artificial intelligence boosted tech stocks. On top of that, data showing the U.S. economy is resilient despite higher rates boosted investor sentiment.
