Fed,Apple,Jerome Powell

Investors are accentuating the positive in Jerome Powell's policy comments and looking ahead to Apple earnings.

US stock futures strode higher Thursday in a calm after the Fed day storm, as investors set aside rate worries for now to focus on Apple earnings and the coming monthly jobs report. S&P 500 futures rose roughly 0.7%, while those on the Dow Jones Industrial Average were 0.4% higher. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 led the gains, up 0.9%. Stocks are recovering from Wednesday's volatile session dominated by the wait for the Federal Reserve's policy decision.

Meanwhile, the OECD credited US outperformance as the reason the global economy is growing faster than expected, providing another reason for optimism.
