Dow futures slip after index posts sixth straight positive day: Live updates

Stock futures dipped, with Dow futures declining by 85 points, potentially ending a six-day winning streak due to disappointing earnings reports. Notable losses included Warner Bros Discovery and Arm, which saw significant stock price drops after reporting below-expectation earnings and weak future revenue guidance.

In the UK, the Bank of England maintained its rate but signaled potential future cuts, influencing market expectations. Meanwhile, in other news, Sony and Apollo Global Management are reportedly considering a breakup of Paramount Global to integrate its segments with Sony's operations.

Global markets showed mixed responses; European stocks opened mixed, while China's stocks rose following positive trade data. In Japan, concerns about wage decline and corporate earnings forecasts, such as Mitsubishi’s projected profit drop, influenced market sentiments.
