   Nasdaq 100 futures drop on reports of Jensen Huang ousting at Nvidia

   Nasdaq 100 futures fell Sunday as unconfirmed reports claiming Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been ousted outweighed positive sentiment around CoreWeave's outlook. Multiple financial outlets reference a dramatic resignation or departure, but no official statement from Nvidia or the SEC has been identified in the source material. Nvidia shares had stabilized earlier in the week after a brutal selloff, according to KSL News. The development overshadowed broader market gains driven by AI trade optimism and hopes for Iran conflict resolution.

   Why it matters

   Jensen Huang has led Nvidia since co-founding the company in 1993 and is widely viewed as central to its dominance in AI chips. Any leadership change would create massive uncertainty for the semiconductor sector and the broader market, given Nvidia's weighting in major indices. CoreWeave, a key Nvidia partner and AI cloud provider, had offered a positive counter-narrative with a strong outlook. Asian markets rose Friday on geopolitical optimism, but U.S. futures reversed course on the Huang reports.

   What is confirmed

   • Nasdaq 100 futures dropped on reports relating to Jensen Huang's ousting, outweighing CoreWeave's strong outlook.
   • Nvidia stock fell after an investigation into the CEO, bucking a broader market rally earlier in the week.
   • U.S. futures climbed and Nvidia shares stabilized earlier in what was described as a brutal week for the chipmaker.
   • Asian stocks rose and oil eased on hopes for Iran conflict resolution.

   Still unconfirmed

   • Jensen Huang has been ousted or resigned as CEO of Nvidia.
   • An investigation into Jensen Huang precipitated his departure.
   • Nvidia faces a leadership transition with no named successor.

   What to watch next

   • Official statement from Nvidia or SEC filing confirming or denying leadership change
   • Nvidia board announcement regarding interim CEO or succession plan
   • Pre-market trading reaction in Nvidia shares and Nasdaq 100 futures at Sunday evening open
