Dow Jones Futures Rise as Traders Eye Steady Fed Rate in July

Dow Jones futures edged 0.14% higher to trade near 52,450 during European hours on Monday, reflecting cautious optimism ahead of the Federal Reserve's July meeting. S&P 500 futures added 0.26%, hovering around 7,520, while Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.50% to approximately 28,920.

The moves come as market participants widely anticipate the Fed will maintain its current interest rate stance when it meets later this month. The steady Fed outlook has supported risk appetite across equity index futures, with all three major benchmarks showing modest gains at the start of the trading week.
