European markets saw mixed trading before the US open, largely digesting recent corporate news and geopolitical developments. US equities are set to open buoyed by a strong tech sector, with Samsung reaching a $1 trillion market cap and Intel jumping 13% on robust AI chip demand and Apple's potential interest in their processors. Gold and silver are currently seeing significant gains while crude oil is pulling back from recent highs.
