U.S. equity futures were little changed early Thursday after the major averages snapped a three-day losing streak sparked by rising Treasury yields amid more fighting between the U.S. and Iran.
S&P 500 futures traded flat. Dow futures were up 45 points, or 0.08%, and Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.17%.
Stocks closed higher in Wednesday's regular trading, with all three major averages ending a three-day slump. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained nearly 300 points, or about 0.6%.
In Asia, South Korea's Kospi rose 1.32%, while the small-cap Kosdaq fell 0.5%.
On Wednesday, the 2-year Treasury yield hit 4.41%, the highest level since January 2025.
New York Federal Reserve President John Williams told CNBC that he sees higher Treasury yields as the result of solid economic prospects.
"What's driving it, in large part, is ... really a strong U.S. economy and a strong economic outlook fueled by big investments in AI and data centers and technology in general," he said.
