US shares stay steady as traders wait for Washington and Beijing talks

US stock index futures showed little change on Tuesday following an artificial intelligence-driven rally in the previous session. Investors are now turning their attention to a US-China summit scheduled for Thursday. Traders are hoping that the trade truce with Beijing might be extended and that discussions could include artificial intelligence rules. At the same time, market participants are waiting for potential talks between Washington and Tehran to help end their six-month conflict. At 7:12 a.m. ET, Dow futures increased by 111 points, which is 0.21 percent. Meanwhile, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures both edged up by 0.03 percent and 0.05 percent respectively.
