U.S. stock futures edge up after Dow record close; S&P 500 and Nasdaq set for strong first half
AI Market Summary

The resulting oil decline supports risk appetite and lowers near-term inflation pressure, reinforcing strong H1 performance for US indices, led by tech. A firm dollar and a historically weak JPY add cross-asset volatility risk via potential Japan intervention and Fed-hawkish repricing.
