U.S. stock futures are higher amid mixed corporate earnings after the market closed.

Software analytics firm Palantir reported better-than-expected quarterly results, but restaurant chain Denny’s and Hims & Hers Health posted disappointing results.

At 6:10 a.m. ET, futures linked to the blue-chip Dow added 0.14%, while broad S&P 500 futures rose 0.17% and tech-heavy Nasdaq futures gained 0.23%.

The stock market’s moves come after posting its largest daily percentage gain since May 27 on hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut soon and easing trade relations.
