The performance of U.S. stock index futures varied in pre-market trading.

U.S. stock index futures showed a clear divergence in their performance during Thursday's trading, as weaker Nvidia expectations pressured investor sentiment despite the record quarterly results announced by the highest market-cap company in the U.S. market yesterday.

Futures for the Nasdaq 100 tech index fell by about 0.11% to 18,966.14 points, while S&P 500 futures remained stable at 5,917.11 points, and Dow Jones Industrial futures rose by 0.32% to 43,408.47 points.

This came after Nasdaq 100 futures reduced their losses, as traders balanced the impact of Nvidia's disappointing forecasts against the 20% rise in shares of the giant U.S. cloud services company Snowflake in pre-market trading following the announcement of extremely strong results.

Additionally, Bitcoin's breach of the $98,000 level contributed to an 11% increase in shares of MicroStrategy - the largest publicly traded company in the U.S. by Bitcoin holdings - in pre-market trading, while returns on U.S. ten-year government bonds and the dollar remained stable.
