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 Stock Futures Ease After Wall Street Rally
US stock futures edged lower on Wednesday, pausing after a strong Wall Street rally in the prior session driven by hopes of easing tensions in the Middle East. President Trump said he believes the Iran conflict may not last “much longer” and that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen “automatically” once US forces withdraw. However, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi pushed back, stating Tehran is not seeking a ceasefire but a full end to the war, including guarantees against future attacks and compensation for damages, highlighting ongoing uncertainty. On the data front, US house prices rose 0.1% mom in January, with annual gains remaining subdued. Among stocks, Nvidia jumped over 5.6% after unveiling a USD 2 billion investment in Marvell Technology to expand AI infrastructure via NVLink Fusion. Meanwhile, Microsoft, despite a 3.1% rebound Tuesday, logged its worst quarterly performance since the 2008 financial crisis, with shares down 23% for Q1.

US Stocks Close Sharply Higher
US equities closed sharply higher on Tuesday as the S&P 500 gained 3% and the Nasdaq Composite surged 3.5% following reports that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is open to ending regional hostilities under specific guarantees. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 2.6% to mark its best session since May as investors reacted to potential de-escalation efforts by President Trump despite the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This relief rally failed to erase a volatile month where the S&P 500 concluded March with a 5.3% decline representing its worst monthly performance since 2022.
