US Stock Market Today: Futures Slip as $110 Oil and AI Jitters Test Wall Street’s Record Run
Stock futures in the U.S. slipped early Tuesday, with tech names seeing the heaviest selling. Higher oil prices and renewed jitters around the artificial intelligence rally put the brakes on Wall Street’s latest record streak. The Nasdaq 100 futures lost 0.7% recently; S&P 500 futures dropped 0.3%. Dow futures bucked the trend, pointing 0.3% higher. Futures contracts offer a look at where the indexes might open. This shift is hitting at a delicate moment: the market's tolerance for setbacks is razor thin. On Monday, both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite notched fresh record closes—even with a packed lineup of earnings reports, key economic numbers, and a Federal Reserve rate call still to come this week.
