Stock futures rose Thursday as Nvidia shares advanced after reporting better-than-expected quarterly results. The positive sentiment in tech stocks contrasts with concerns about the U.S. economy amidst Trump's trade policies.

In a recent interview, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that future AI models will require 100 times more computational power due to advanced reasoning processes. He highlighted Nvidia's significant earnings and addressed concerns regarding DeepSeek's performance capabilities, emphasizing the need for higher chip demands in reasoning models.

Nvidia reported a remarkable 78% growth in sales due to AI demand, outperforming analyst expectations and providing robust future guidance, while net income also saw significant growth.

S&P 500 futures rose after a four-day losing streak as investors await Nvidia's earnings report. The market is reacting to recent economic concerns including low consumer confidence.

Nvidia is set to report its fourth-quarter earnings, highlighting a tremendous growth year, but faces concerns about future sales due to potential pullbacks from major customers like Microsoft and the emergence of competitor DeepSeek's AI model.
