Nasdaq-100 futures fall as Nvidia sell-off deepens on leadership uncertainty
Nasdaq-100 futures are sliding, pulled lower by a renewed Nvidia sell-off that has the stock down about 7% as investors weigh the possibility that CEO Jensen Huang could be ousted. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are set to retreat at the open while the Dow is seen steadier. Despite the turbulence, the S&P 500 still secured a weekly gain of 2.5% and the Nasdaq added 2.3% for the week. The leadership question is pressuring the broader AI trade and spilling into Asian markets, where stocks tumbled on the news.
Why it matters

A potential leadership change at the company introduces strategic uncertainty for the entire semiconductor supply chain and the massive capital expenditures underpinning AI infrastructure. Markets are now pricing in not just a single-stock event but a reassessment of the AI investment thesis, making the board's decision on Huang a pivotal catalyst for near-term direction.
