US stock futures edge higher; S&P 500 futures up 0.2%, Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.4%

Futures are a positioning signal, not a verdict, and the modest spread between the two indices suggests appetite is tilting toward growth names rather than broad risk-taking. The scale is small enough that the real information will come from how the cash session holds those early gains. Whether the opening firmness survives the first hours of trading, or fades as it has in similar setups, is the open question worth watching.
