S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures edged higher Wednesday, rebounding from two straight sessions of declines, as investors returned to technology shares after a steep selloff, with Micron's earnings under the spotlight.

Concerns around aggressive, debt-backed spending by hyperscalers and a potentially more hawkish Federal Reserve fueled the downturn in ‌previous sessions, wiping off more than $1 trillion in market value from the Nasdaq 100.

Memory chipmakers ​moved higher in premarket trading, following a sharp plunge in the previous session, with Micron Technology and Sandisk adding 3.8% and 2.9%, respectively.

The choppy backdrop in equities has intensified focus ⁠on Micron's results after the bell, as it is a key beneficiary of surging demand from companies investing ​billions in AI infrastructure. The stock has surged more than 268% in 2026, despite a 13% drop on Tuesday.

"We ⁠will all be looking at Micron since that is a representation of what we've seen in this rally. I think people are going to get the blowout quarter that they expect, but I don't expect the stock to continue to rise," said Jay Woods, chief market ‌strategist at Freedom Capital Markets.

"It's fallen (after) six of its last eight earnings reports, even though Micron ​has reported blowout ‌earnings."

U.S. stock futures were mixed at 7:26 a.m. EST, with Nasdaq futures leading gains, up 89.5 points, or 0.30%, while S&P 500 futures rose 8.5 points, or 0.11%.

Dow futures lagged, slipping 37 points, or 0.07%, suggesting a cautious tone toward blue-chip stocks ahead of the opening bell.

Small-cap shares also pointed modestly higher, with Russell 2000 futures advancing 2.8 points, or 0.09%, indicating broadly positive but restrained risk sentiment.

Investors continued to monitor Middle East developments after the U.S. and Iran offered conflicting accounts on a range of key issues including financial incentives for Iran, control over the Strait of Hormuz and ⁠Israel's war in Lebanon.

Optimism surrounding an end to ‌the war and strong earnings growth expectations ⁠have put the S&P 500 on track for its strongest quarterly gain in six years, despite expectations of higher interest rates.

Traders are adding ⁠to bets ⁠of a second rate hike from the Fed by December-end, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool, from prior expectations of a single 25-basis-point rise, after new chair ‌Kevin Warsh emphasized the need to curb inflation.

The closely watched Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, could offer fresh insight on the monetary policy path on Thursday. Economists expect a rise to 4.1%, more than ‌twice the central ​bank's target.

Among early movers, Cerebras Systems ‌tumbled 13.3% after the chip designer forecast full-year profit margins would drop below first-quarter figures in its debut report after going public.

FedEx slid 7.1% after reporting that margins in its core delivery segment shrank ​in the latest quarter from a year earlier.
