Wall Street Pauses as Tech Weakness Weighs on Futures

  U.S. stock futures were mixed as investors navigated lingering volatility following a sharp pullback in major technology names. Dow Jones futures showed a slight uptick, while S&P 500 futures hovered near flat. Nasdaq futures, however, continued to drift lower, reflecting ongoing pressure in the tech sector. The recent downturn in high‑growth technology stocks has prompted a broader shift in market sentiment, with traders rotating toward more defensive positions. Concerns about the sustainability of tech valuations and the impact of AI‑driven competition have added to the cautious mood. Attention now turns to Alphabet’s upcoming earnings report, which is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the market’s next move. With investors eager for clarity on the company’s AI strategy and advertising performance, the results could either steady the tech landscape or deepen the current uncertainty.
