U.S. stock futures edged higher premarket on Monday, recovering some ground after Wall Street ended the previous week in the red. S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures rose 0.5% and 0.83%, after the S&P 500 fell 2% and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 3.5% on Friday as investors pulled back from tech and AI-related stocks. Oil fell more than 4% as optimism over diplomatic efforts to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran eased supply concerns, with Brent for January delivery down 4.21% to $108.66 a barrel and WTI down 4.1% to $99.85. Apple and Palantir report earnings after the close, while Alphabet fell 12.6% last week and Intel dropped 24% after a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter outlook.

- Tech stocks post best 3-day rally in 5 weeks
On Market Domination Overtime, Yahoo Finance's Jared Blikre said tech had its strongest three-day stretch in five weeks, with the Nasdaq up over 1% while the S&P 500 barely gained and the equal-weight index rose only slightly, meaning mega-caps led and the average stock lagged.

- Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq wobble after sharp tech sell-off
US stock futures wobbled on Friday as worries over the AI trade lingered after a steep tech sell-off sparked a flight to bonds. Dow futures fell 0.2% and S&P 500 futures dropped 0.2%, while Nasdaq 100 futures were little changed after semiconductors and Big Tech sold off Thursday. Concerns over rising financing costs and a possible slowdown in capex weighed on neocloud stocks such as CoreWeave (CRWV), with Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD also retreating. Oil stayed near a five-month high, with Brent touching $113 per barrel and WTI near $100 per barrel. Yahoo Finance reported that Tesla's (TSLA) surprise $5 billion cut to capex plans has not shaken confidence in a large Cybercab network, with Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco's modeling assuming a fleet of 5 million by end-2040.
- US stock indexes off to mixed start as tech sector weighs on market
US stocks fell Friday as a broad tech sell-off pushed the S&P 500 down 1.1% to 7,659.44 and the Nasdaq down 2.1% to 26,140.03, capping the market's worst week since late June. Chipmakers led the decline, with Micron, AMD, Broadcom and Intel falling 4.5% to 6%, as investors worry about how long the AI spending boom will last and whether tech firms can keep borrowing. The 10-year Treasury yield eased to 5.09% from 5.10%, after topping 5.30% earlier this month, while CME data showed traders see a 74.3% chance of a Fed rate hike in December, up from 50.2% a month earlier. Brent crude rose 3.7% to $109.86 a barrel as the Iran war and concerns over the Strait of Hormuz kept supply under pressure.
- US stock indexes off to mixed start as tech sector weighs on market
U.S. stocks fell Friday as a broad tech sell-off pulled the S&P 500 down 1.1% to 7,659.44, leaving it about 2% lower for the week and erasing gains from a record high set last week. The Nasdaq dropped 2.1%, its first weekly loss in five weeks, as chipmakers Micron, AMD and Intel fell between 5.6% and 6% amid worries about how long AI spending can be financed through borrowing. The 10-year Treasury yield eased to 5.09% but had topped 5.30% earlier this month, its highest since 2002. Traders now see a 74.3% chance of a Fed rate hike in December, up from 50.2% a month ago. Brent crude rose 3.7% to $109.86 a barrel as there was still no deal between the U.S. and Iran to end the Iran war.

Latest news
- Nvidia stock valuation gets torched by tech stock rout
Nvidia (NVDA) shares trade at a forward P/E of just 12.9 times according to Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace data, versus 18.7 times for the S&P 500, with a PEG ratio of 0.27. The article attributes the selloff to shrinking free cash flow at Alphabet, Meta and Amazon as capex rises sharply, and to concern that hyperscalers may cut capex in 2027, which could mean fewer AI chip orders for Nvidia. On Friday, more than $1 trillion in market value was wiped out and Nvidia finished down 4.22%. Miller Tabak chief markets strategist Matt Maley said “the AI narrative is cracking as profitability concerns intensify.”
- Defense, healthcare, crypto and AI: How the midterm election could affect stocks
Several large U.S. companies depend heavily on Washington: about 70% of Lockheed Martin's sales come from the U.S. government, and Medicaid accounts for three-quarters of Molina Healthcare's premium revenue. A Democratic win in either chamber of Congress would give the party power to investigate companies, challenge federal spending and demand concessions, though President Trump would keep his veto and broad authority over tariffs and regulation. A Morgan Stanley analysis found the S&P 500 gained an average of 23% in the year after midterms under Republican presidents when Congress was split, versus 16% when Democrats controlled both chambers, though some analysts caution against assuming the pattern will repeat. Democrats have already sought records from donors to Trump's White House ballroom, and the 2025 tax and spending law is projected to cut federal Medicaid spending by $911 billion through 2034, a change that could pressure Molina, whose Medicaid revenue reached $32.2 billion in 2025.
- It would shock you how bearish Wall Street is on hyperscalers Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Oracle
Costco (COST) and Walmart (WMT) trade at forward P/E ratios of 44 and 41 times, above those of hyperscalers Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), Meta (META) and Oracle (ORCL). An S&P Global Market Intelligence analysis puts the hyperscalers' average revenue growth at 21% with an average forward P/E of 20.7 times, suggesting the market is paying more for slower-growing companies. The article attributes this to shrinking free cash flow at Big Tech leaders as capex rises sharply, and to concern that hyperscalers may cut capex in 2027. More than $1 trillion in market value was wiped out on Friday. Yorkville Ives partner Dan Ives said it is not the time to panic, citing stronger validation of enterprise AI buildouts, while noting that tech companies raising funds through bonds and equity offerings add pressure.
- Trezor lifts password ceiling after Coldcard’s $100M wallet thefts
Hardware wallet maker Trezor has raised the maximum length of optional passphrases from 50 to 128 characters, available in Trezor Suite with updated firmware, while older firmware still caps passphrases at 50 characters. The change follows the July Coldcard attacks, when a firmware flaw led some devices to generate recovery phrases with insufficient randomness, and strong, unique passphrases protected some affected users. Separately, Trezor advised customers who bought wallets from former reseller CryptoBilis since March to move their funds, after an Indonesian customer reported a suspected implant in a Trezor Safe 5 that could capture recovery phrases; Trezor said it had not examined the device and had received no reports of related losses.
- Prediction: AbbVie's Next Blockbuster Is Hiding in a Two-Drug Crohn's Combo
AbbVie's Phase 2 study of ABBV-466, which combines Skyrizi with trosunilimab to target two separate drivers of Crohn's inflammation, met its primary endpoint. At week 24, 40.5% of patients on the combination reached endoscopic remission, versus 22.4% on Skyrizi alone and 20% on trosunilimab alone, while serious adverse events occurred in 10.4% of the combination group, compared with 9.6% for Skyrizi and 9% for trosunilimab. BMO Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets analysts viewed the results positively. The author, noting that Skyrizi and Rinvoq generated $17.5 billion and $8.3 billion in 2025, predicts ABBV-466 could become AbbVie's next blockbuster, while acknowledging that a Phase 3 program and a multi-year approval path still lie ahead.
- FBI Blames North Korea for $6B Binance Hack as Exchange Reopens Withdrawals
The FBI said North Korea's TraderTraitor was behind the theft of more than $6 billion from Binance and published hundreds of linked addresses. Binance began restoring withdrawals on Sunday, processing $4.649 billion in withdrawals and $1.01 billion in deposits in the first nine and a half hours, a net outflow of about $3.64 billion, or 2.1% of the $171 billion in assets reported in its latest proof of reserves. The FBI said the hackers mainly converted stolen assets into Ethereum and were expected to launder funds through DeFi and instant swap services, urging businesses to block transactions tied to hundreds of Ethereum addresses, 19 Bitcoin addresses and one Solana address. Chainalysis said more than $500 million had moved through Tron, while CEO Richard Teng said Binance had replenished about 95% of affected assets and would absorb the financial impact. According to Reuters, Circle has frozen more than $1.1 billion in USDC.
