By YURI KAGEYAMA, AP Business Writer

Wall Street inched higher in early trading Wednesday as markets turned their attention away from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech and toward the latest earnings report from AI chipmaker Nvidia.

Futures for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average each rose 0.3% before the opening bell, while Nasdaq futures climbed 0.5%.

In his speech Tuesday night, Trump focused on jobs, manufacturing and an economy he says is stronger than many Americans believe.
