US stock futures point to a rebound after a sharp sell-off, with markets appearing to stabilise as investors look past recent losses. Financial Times reports Nasdaq 100 futures rise around 1.3% following the biggest weekly decline since April 2024, when it was described as Trump’s “liberation day.” Other outlets similarly characterise the move as a return of interest in major growth and technology themes, particularly AI-related stocks.
The coverage links the earlier sell-off to shifting expectations around the outlook for AI and related equities, while the rebound is framed as investors re-entering positions. Investing.com presents the session as investors coming back to AI trade after the decline. Seeking Alpha adds that oil is nearing $110, suggesting energy prices may also be in focus, alongside expectations for upcoming earnings from AI-exposed companies. Across the reports, the key common theme is that sentiment improves modestly, but traders remain attentive to both sector-specific catalysts and broader market signals.
