U.S. stock futures rose on Wednesday, as the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 indices advanced, following Tuesday’s lower close.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the U.S. and China to "de-risk, not to decouple" their economic relationship, while Chinese ambassador Xie Feng called for respecting bilateral "red lines" ahead of an expected Trump-Xi meeting next week during the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China.

Reuters reported that Iran’s top security official Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran is not negotiating with Washington and disputed claims of continuing talks and a possible meeting in Qatar, after Trump met Qatar’s prime minister and Reuters reported Trump would suspend fresh strikes while maintaining the U.S. naval blockade.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.99%, and the 2-year Treasury bond yielded 4.74%, at the last check. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool projections show markets pricing in a 100% likelihood of the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates after its December meeting, with odds for a 25-basis-point hike at 86.2%.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY), the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ: QQQ) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE: DIA), which track the S&P 500 index, Nasdaq 100 index and Dow Jones Industrial Average, respectively, were higher in premarket trading on Wednesday. The SPY was up 0.91% at $756.74, the QQQ advanced 1.89% to $687.48, and the DIA rose 0.24% to $523.00.
