AI stocks rebound, and Wall Street nearly returns to where it was before last week’s sell-off
U.S. equity futures rose Sunday evening as CoreWeave's strong quarterly report and raised outlook sparked a rally in AI-related shares, led by Nvidia. The bounce recovered much of last week's sell-off triggered by hot inflation data that pushed the 10-year Treasury yield toward 5%. CoreWeave shares surged on Q3 revenue that beat estimates and a higher full-year forecast, easing concerns about AI infrastructure spending. Meanwhile, bond markets priced in a near-certain December Fed rate hike, limiting the equity advance.

AI stocks rebound as CoreWeave results lift sector, inflation fears cap gains
U.S. equity futures rose Sunday evening as CoreWeave's strong quarterly report and raised outlook sparked a rally in AI-related shares, led by Nvidia. The bounce recovered much of last week's sell-off triggered by hot inflation data that pushed the 10-year Treasury yield toward 5%. CoreWeave shares surged on Q3 revenue that beat estimates and a higher full-year forecast, easing concerns about AI infrastructure spending. Meanwhile, bond markets priced in a near-certain December Fed rate hike, limiting the equity advance.
Why it matters
Last week's consumer price index report reignited fears of persistent inflation, driving yields higher and pressuring growth stocks. The AI trade, which led the market's 2024 gains, was particularly vulnerable to higher discount rates. CoreWeave's earnings provided the first major test of whether AI demand remains intact amid tightening financial conditions. The company's performance is seen as a bellwether for Nvidia and the broader AI chip ecosystem.
