Futures Steady as Tech Selloff Eases; Amazon Drops on AI Spending Surge

U.S. stock futures held steady in early premarket trading after a sharp tech-led decline earlier in the week, giving investors a moment to reassess the sector’s rapid pullback. Major index futures hovered near flat, suggesting a more measured tone after days of volatility. While sentiment remains cautious, some traders appear to be stepping back in following the recent selloff in high‑growth names. Amazon shares slipped in premarket action after the company signaled a significant increase in capital expenditures tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure. The planned investment highlights Amazon’s push to expand its AI capabilities, but the scale of spending raised concerns about near‑term pressure on margins. Market attention now turns to upcoming economic data and corporate earnings, which could help determine whether tech stocks regain momentum or continue to face headwinds. For the moment, futures point to a steadier start as investors look for the next catalyst.

Hurricane Beryl Makes Landfall in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

 

Early Friday morning, Hurricane Beryl struck Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, making landfall near the popular tourist area of Tulum. The storm, which had weakened to a Category 2, carried maximum sustained winds of 110 mph. 

As it barreled toward Tulum, “life-threatening” conditions—including hurricane-force winds, a dangerous storm surge, and heavy rainfall—were expected to impact Mexico’s top tourist destination. Residents in the area were advised to shelter in place, and rip currents were also a concern along the Gulf Coast. The storm is now expected to move over southern Texas this weekend, prompting preparations in the region.
