Stock market futures showed mixed performance as May trading commenced. S&P 500 futures were largely unchanged, while Dow futures saw gains.
This movement follows a strong close for Wall Street, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq achieving their most significant monthly gains in years. Both indices also set fresh records. Apple shares notably rose after reporting strong results, contributing to the Dow's upward movement.
Futures are currently holding onto these gains. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
