Stocks are slightly higher in early trade as earnings, Fed signals, and a cooler tone on trade tensions help steady sentiment. The Dow is leading thanks to strong reports from 3M (MMM) and American Express (AXP), while the Nasdaq is lagging after Netflix (NFLX) fell post-earnings.

While Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish, one analyst argued the streamer’s results and raised guidance were "not good enough for elevated expectations"

Netflix also raised its 2025 profit outlook, but the stock was down after hours.
