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.

Tragic Collision Over Potomac River: 67 Lives Lost in D.C. Plane Crash

In a devastating incident, an American Airlines flight collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, resulting in the tragic loss of 67 lives. The crash occurred last night, and both flight data recorders, or "black boxes," from the American Airlines jet have been recovered for investigation.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation to determine the cause of the collision. Among the victims were elite figure skaters returning from a training camp in Wichita, Kansas, and their coaches. The crash has raised concerns about air traffic control staffing levels at the time of the incident, although it remains unclear what role this may have played.

President Donald Trump has expressed condolences and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation. The NTSB has promised a "whole-of-government effort" to uncover the truth behind this tragic event.

As the investigation continues, families and communities across the nation mourn the sudden loss of their loved ones. The scene of the crash is now marked by tributes and flowers left by those grieving.
