Intel’s Weak Earnings Put Futures on Ice After a Choppy Week

U.S. stock futures lost momentum Friday morning as Wall Street tried to steady itself after several days of sharp swings. Dow futures slipped, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures hovered slightly lower, signaling a cautious start to the trading day. The hesitation came largely from Intel’s disappointing earnings report. The chipmaker’s results and weaker outlook weighed heavily on tech sentiment, sending its shares sharply lower in pre‑market trading. Investors had hoped for stronger numbers given the industry’s AI‑driven momentum, but Intel’s update suggested ongoing challenges in key segments like data‑center chips. The broader market has been wrestling with volatility all week, driven by shifting economic expectations and uneven corporate results. With the S&P 500 on track for another weekly decline, traders appear reluctant to make big moves until they see clearer signs of stability.

Houthi Rebels Continue Reckless Attacks on Commercial Ships in Red Sea Despite Increased Trade Traffic


According to a recent news article, the Houthi rebels have continued their attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, despite the increase in trade traffic.

The commander of US naval forces in the Middle East has warned that the Houthis show no signs of ending their “reckless” attacks, which have included the use of ballistic missiles and drones. The US military has responded to these attacks by sinking three Houthi boats. The attacks have led to the suspension of Maersk’s Red Sea sailings.
