Futures contracts tied to the major U.S. stock indexes held steady early Thursday, hours after the Nasdaq Composite clinched its 25th record close for 2020.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures implied an opening loss of less than 20 points when trading resumes on Thursday. S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures pointed to similar muted action.

The after-hours moves Wednesday evening followed a positive regular session, with the major indexes brushing off a record daily increase in new U.S. Covid-19 cases. Big Tech continued to carry the broader market higher on during regular trading and again allowed the Nasdaq Composite to outpace the S&P 500 and Dow industrials.
