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.

Daring Rescue: Israel Frees Hostages in Hamas-Led Operation

 


In a daring operation, Israel successfully rescued four hostages who were kidnapped during a Hamas-led attack on October 7. The hostages—Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir Jan (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), and Shlomi Ziv (40)—were freed in a complex special daytime mission in Nuseirat. The rescue took place in two separate locations within the heart of Nuseirat.

Hamas had initially abducted around 250 hostages during their attack on southern Israel. Approximately half of them were released during a weeklong cease-fire in November. However, more than 130 hostages remain, with about a quarter of them believed to be deceased. The situation has intensified divisions within Israel on the best approach to bring the remaining hostages home.

Saturday’s operation marks the largest recovery of live hostages since the war began, bringing the total number of rescued captives to seven.
