Stock futures inch higher after Nasdaq Composite posts fresh record: Live updates

The Nasdaq Composite reached a new all-time high driven by a surge in artificial intelligence interest. While stock futures remain steady or slightly higher, the rally faces mixed pressures from rising bond yields and oil price volatility. Brent oil has fallen below $100 per barrel, contributing to a potential year-long losing streak for oil prices. This decline in energy costs has helped Wall Street hold near record levels, even as some reports suggest the initial AI stock buzz is beginning to fade.

  1. Nasdaq Hits Record High Amid AI Enthusiasm and Falling Oil Prices

    The Nasdaq Composite reached a new all-time high driven by a surge in artificial intelligence interest. While stock futures remain steady or slightly higher, the rally faces mixed pressures from rising bond yields and oil price volatility. Brent oil has fallen below $100 per barrel, contributing to a potential year-long losing streak for oil prices. This decline in energy costs has helped Wall Street hold near record levels, even as some reports suggest the initial AI stock buzz is beginning to fade.

    Why it matters

    AI demand continues to influence global markets, specifically boosting Korean chip stocks following the release of Meta's Muse AI agent. The tension between tech growth and macroeconomic pressures like bond yields determines the sustainability of these record highs. Oil price trends are currently acting as a primary catalyst for broader index stability.
