what happened
US stock index futures moved higher on Monday as shares tied to artificial intelligence recovered from the sharp drop seen at the end of last week, Reuters reported. Lower oil prices and softer Treasury yields also supported sentiment. Over the previous week the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite posted their largest weekly decline since late June, with technology stocks hurt by worries that higher borrowing costs could slow spending on AI infrastructure, especially at data center operators.
In premarket trading CoreWeave gained 1.3%, Broadcom added 2.3% and Nvidia rose 1.1%, while Amazon.com and Meta Platforms edged up. Brent crude slid 1.8% to roughly $107 a barrel after President Donald Trump decided to ease some sanctions on Russia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the administration could need as long as 60 days to evaluate the effect on the economy. The 10-year Treasury yield dropped to 5.085%. Iran said another tanker had struck a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, and higher freight and insurance costs kept physical oil deliveries priced well above futures levels.
Intel climbed 3.8% after JPMorgan raised its rating to neutral from underweight. Red Cat Holdings rose 6.9% after announcing plans to buy Austrian engine maker Steyr Motors for about €204.8 million ($230 million). Results from Meta, SpaceX, Tesla, Netflix, General Motors and GE Aerospace are due this week.
why it matters
The futures gains rest on lower yields: cheaper US government bonds ease pressure on richly valued tech shares and on expectations for AI capital spending. Oil is pulling in two directions, as the sanctions easing weighs on Brent while the Hormuz risk keeps physical cargo prices elevated. A busy week of megacap earnings is likely to add volatility to index trading.
