US Futures Stabilize After Sharp Selloff

2025-11-14 00:18 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

US stock futures stabilized on Friday after the major averages sold off in the previous session, as the boost from the US government reopening was outweighed by lingering concerns about stretched AI valuations and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s interest rate trajectory.

In regular trading on Thursday, the Dow fell 1.65%, the S&P 500 dropped 1.66% and the Nasdaq Composite declined 2.29%, with all three benchmarks posting their worst day since the October 10 selloff.

Megacap tech names led the decline, with Tesla, Nvidia, AMD, Palantir, Broadcom and Oracle losing between 3.6% to 6.6%, as investors remain cautious about a sharp rise in debt financing and surging AI capex plans.

Markets have also cut the probability of a December 25 basis point cut to about 50% from nearly 95% a month ago as several Fed officials signaled caution over further easing amid persistent inflation and gaps in official data following the government shutdown.

US Stocks Finish Mostly Flat
The S&P 500 and the DOw were little changed on Friday, while the Nasdaq Composite added 0.2%, leaving the major averages around 1.5% lower for the week, as a softer-than-expected January inflation report failed to revive risk appetite amid persistent AI-related volatility. The headline inflation and core inflation rates eased as expected, maintaining market bets that the Federal Reserve will cut rates multiple times this year. Chipmakers and megacap tech names including Nvidia (-2.2%), Apple (-2.3%), Alphabet (-1.1%), Meta (-1.6%), and Broadcom (-1.8%) remained under pressure amid renewed scrutiny over the sustainability of datacenter capital expenditure, keeping a lid on broader gains. Software names such as Salesforce (2.3%) and Oracle (2.3%) advanced, while Applied Materials (8.1%) and Arista Networks (4.8%) surged after upbeat earnings.

US Stocks Inch Higher
US stocks gained ground on Friday with support from software companies and a tame inflation print for January. The three main averages were 0.6% higher, trimming the aggressive pullback from the previous session. The headline inflation and core inflation rates eased as expected, maintaining market bets that the Federal Reserve will cut rates multiple times this year. In the meantime, software service companies enjoyed some respite from the aggressive selling this week as the advance in automation tools raised concerns of displacement in the sector. Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Oracle added between 3% and 4%. Also, Applied Materials and Arista Networks jumped 13% and 6% after their earnings report. Still, chip producers and companies that led the datacenter capital expenditure growth remained lower, with Nvidia, Alphabet, and Amazon down up to 1.5%. Concerns of exaggerated spending in the industry drove the Nasdaq 100 to be set for a third straight week of losses.
