U.S. stock futures hold steady as Trump-Xi summit nears close; AMAT, FIG rise after earnings

U.S. stock futures were little changed late May 14, 2026, after Wall Street rallied to fresh highs, as investors awaited the final day of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures, S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures traded mostly flat. In regular trading, the Dow returned to the 50,000 level, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite set new highs, supported by optimism around artificial intelligence and chip-related demand. Applied Materials (AMAT) and Figma (FIG) rose in after-hours trading after earnings results pointed to continued AI-related strength. Sentiment also was lifted by chipmaker Cerebras’ market debut and business agreements announced during Trump’s China visit, including deals involving Boeing (BA) and Nvidia (NVDA). Trump is scheduled to conclude talks with Xi on May 15, 2026, before returning to Washington. Earnings due May 15 include Mizuho Financial Group (MFG), RBC Bearings (RBC) and Sigma Lithium (SGML).
