Stock futures climb as AI trade steadies after brutal selloff
U.S. equity futures rose Thursday morning as technology shares attempted to stabilize following last week's sharp AI-driven selloff. The S&P 500 gained 1.3% Wednesday, nearly recovering the prior week's losses. Nvidia shares steadied after volatility tied to an internal probe into a relationship linked to a Chinese spy. CoreWeave's moves calmed debt concerns, helping spark an AI rebound. Investors are bracing for volatility as futures trading begins and focus shifts to upcoming inflation data and earnings reports.
Why it matters
Markets remain fragile after last week's rout exposed concentration risk in AI-heavy mega-caps. Strategists are divided: some view the pullback as a buying opportunity, while others warn worse may come. Regulatory scrutiny on AI infrastructure and geopolitical tensions add uncertainty. The near-term trajectory hinges on whether CPI, PPI, and key earnings can rekindle the late-summer rally or confirm a deeper correction.
