US Stocks Set to Open Higher

US equity markets are set to open higher with sentiment gaining some confidence after Tesla and Microsoft’s results.

Earnings reports from Microsoft exceeded analysts’ expectations for a 13% increase in sales and a net profit of $ 11.2 billion, despite disappointment that Azure’s sales growth slowed below 50%.

Dow Jones futures rose 112 points or 0.4%, while the S&P 500 rose 0.4% and the Nasdaq rose 0.9%.
