Sep 3, 2025 6:22 AM

09:08 AM EDT, 09/03/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures turned mixed ahead of Wednesday's opening bell after a federal court ruled that Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google ( GOOG ) unit did not have to sell its Chrome browser or Android operating system to comply with antitrust laws.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down 0.2%, S&P 500 futures were up 0.4%, and Nasdaq futures were 0.7% higher.

Oil prices were lower, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude down 1.7% at $67.96 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude 1.9% lower at $64.32 per barrel.

The July factory orders bulletin, scheduled for release at 10 am ET, is expected to show a 1.3% monthly decrease versus the previous month's 4.8% loss. The Department of Labor's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey is expected to show job openings of 7.38 million versus 7.437 million previously, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

In other world markets, Japan's Nikkei closed 0.9% lower, Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended 0.6% lower, and China's Shanghai Composite finished 1.2% lower. Meanwhile, the UK's FTSE 100 was up 0.4%, and Germany's DAX index was 0.7% higher in Europe's early afternoon session.

In equities, Alphabet shares were over 6% higher. Campbell's (CPB) stock was up 2.2% after the company reported fiscal Q4 adjusted earnings that topped analysts estimates, while sales increased.

On the losing side, Strata Skin Sciences ( SSKN ) shares were 21% lower after the company priced a $2.4 million common stock offering.
