IUSG is trading at $195.67 (+2.52%) as AI-related earnings optimism lifted technology shares.
- SpaceX and Super Micro results eased concerns about the AI trade; Asian chip stocks rallied, while Nasdaq 100 futures rose as confidence returned to technology.
- Broader U.S. futures were also higher, supporting large-growth shares; Middle East tensions and elevated oil remain risks.
- No major U.S. economic indicators are scheduled for October 21, 2026, so earnings and global risk sentiment are in focus.
