US index futures are mixed in Wednesday’s pre-market, influenced by the quarterly results of Microsoft and Alphabet, which set the stage for other major technology companies yet to report their results this week.

Asian stock markets had mixed results. Shanghai Composite and Japan’s Nikkei rose, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained. South Korea’s Kospi and Australia’s ASX 200 fell due to higher-than-expected inflation in Australia. Troubled Chinese developer Country Garden defaulted on a dollar bond, reflecting China’s real estate crisis. Bank of Japan is monitoring bond yields before its policy meeting.

In Europe, most markets declined, except the UK’s FTSE 100, which saw a slight increase. Stoxx 600 fell, with mining stocks rising and retail stocks dropping. Deutsche Bank’s 7% share increase couldn’t boost the index, as Kering, Reckitt Benckiser, Worldline, and Peer Nexi all faced declines.

US Stock markets closed higher on Tuesday’s session, recovering from previous declines, fueled by optimism about the financial results of tech giants, with Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) reporting after the closing bell.

Before Tuesday’s session began, major companies, including Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), General Motors (NYSE:GM), and Verizon (NYSE:VZ), announced better-than-expected results, boosting investor sentiment. Additionally, international efforts to resolve the impasse between Israel and Hamas influenced a drop in oil prices to less than $90 per barrel. It’s worth mentioning the PMI indicators released in both Europe and the U.S. In Europe, the data was discouraging for both the services and industrial sectors, while in the U.S., the statistics exceeded expectations.

Foxconn (USOTC:FXCOF) – Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn and a Taiwanese billionaire, had ambitions of becoming the country’s president, but his candidacy is declining, and he faces a tax investigation in China, possibly due to his decision to run as an independent, which could benefit Taiwan’s separatist candidate.

This adds approximately $80 million to Nikola’s market capitalization, which ended the second quarter with over $225 million in cash.

Carnival Corp (NYSE:CCL) – Carnival Corp’s Australian unit was ordered to pay the medical expenses of a woman who contracted Covid-19, following a judge’s decision that the company misled passengers about safety risks in a landmark class-action lawsuit.

However, Google Cloud revenue came in at $8.41 billion, significantly below the consensus estimate of $8.64 billion, as reported by StreetAccount.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) – Microsoft’s shares are up 3.7% in Wednesday’s pre-market after reporting first-quarter financial results that exceeded expert expectations. Microsoft reported earnings per share of $2.99 with revenue of $56.52 billion.

Restrictive expenses could turn the “Year of Efficiency” into years of efficiency, but questions about AI-related costs and monetization are expected in the earnings conference call.
