U.S. stock futures edged higher Sunday evening, attempting to recover from last week’s steep losses driven by economic concerns and political uncertainty. Investors are now focusing on Nvidia’s upcoming earnings, a key event for the AI sector.
On Friday, weak U.S. services PMI data and soft consumer sentiment heightened fears of an economic slowdown, dragging Wall Street lower. The Federal Reserve may consider rate cuts, but slowing growth raises concerns about corporate earnings. Market anxiety was further fueled by former President Donald Trump’s renewed tariff threats, targeting automobiles, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and lumber imports.
Amid the turbulence, Nvidia saw a sharp 4.1% decline, reflecting doubts about AI’s sustainability, particularly after China’s DeepSeek launch in January. Investors are eager for Nvidia’s earnings report on Wednesday, seeking insights into AI demand and the company’s outlook. Any comments on DeepSeek’s impact could significantly influence market sentiment.
S&P 500 Futures rose 0.4% to 6,050.25, while Nasdaq 100 Futures gained 0.4% to 21,758.50. Dow Jones Futures climbed 0.3% to 43,610.0. Despite this slight rebound, Friday’s session saw heavy selling: the S&P 500 fell 1.7% to 6,013.13, the NASDAQ Composite dropped 2.2% to 19,524.01, and the Dow slid 1.7% to 43,428.02.
The recent pullback follows a series of record highs in February, leading to profit-taking amid uncertainty. Nvidia’s earnings will be a major catalyst for the market, as investors assess whether AI demand remains strong or if concerns over rising competition will weigh on the sector’s growth.
