S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures rose on Thursday following two straight days of heavy selling in technology stocks, as dip buyers stepped in and as investors weighed the latest earnings results. In extended trading, Google-parent Alphabet slid more than 1% after flagging a sharp increase in AI spending this year, a move that nonetheless buoyed AI-linked names such as Nvidia (1.9%) and Broadcom (6.5%). In regular trading on Wednesday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite fell 0.51% and 1.51%, respectively, dragged down by losses in software stocks amid concerns that AI could disrupt the sector’s business models. By contrast, the Dow Jones rose 0.53% as investors rotated out of tech and into more reasonably valued sectors. Softer macro signals provided little support, with the ADP report showing private payroll growth slowed sharply to just 22K in January, reinforcing signs of cooling labor demand.
