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.

Escalating Conflict: Israeli Strikes in Gaza Result in Civilian Casualties

 

In a series of intense military operations, Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of at least 20 Palestinians, according to medical sources. The strikes targeted various locations, including residential areas and temporary shelters housing displaced families.

Among the casualties were six individuals killed in attacks on tents in the coastal area of Al-Mawasi, designated as a humanitarian zone. Additionally, an airstrike on a house in Gaza City claimed the lives of seven people and injured ten others. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that 76 Palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours due to ongoing Israeli military actions.

The Israeli military has stated that these operations are aimed at targeting “terrorist infrastructure” in response to ongoing hostilities with Hamas. However, the strikes have also exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with increasing reports of child malnutrition and shortages of essential supplies.

As the conflict continues, the international community remains deeply concerned about the escalating violence and its impact on civilians in the region.
