In premarket trading, shares of Alphabet surged more than 5% after a federal judge decided that the company can maintain its Chrome browser but must terminate exclusive search agreements and share search data—avoiding the harsher measure of potentially divesting Chrome. This decision provided a boost to the tech sector, while easing pressures on government bonds further aided in improving investor sentiment. On the earnings side, Macy's reported earnings per share that surpassed expectations, leading to an over 11% increase in its shares during premarket activities. Investors now turn their attention to the upcoming JOLTS report due later today for an early indication of labor market conditions, in advance of the highly anticipated jobs report on Friday.
