US stock futures were little changed on Tuesday after major indexes began the week on a strong footing, with the Dow notching a fresh record high.

In Monday’s cash session, the Dow edged up 0.04%, the S&P 500 advanced 0.47% and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.9%, marking a second consecutive day of gains across all three benchmarks.

Technology stocks led the advance, extending Friday’s rebound after recent selling driven by concerns over elevated artificial intelligence spending and potential disruption to traditional software business models.

Megacap tech outperformed, with Nvidia up 2.5%, Tesla 1.5%, Microsoft 3.1%, Broadcom 3.3% and Meta Platforms 2.4%.

Oracle surged 9.6% following an analyst upgrade linked to stronger AI-related demand.

Looking ahead, investors are awaiting the delayed January employment report and upcoming CPI data, which are expected to further shape expectations around the pace of economic cooling and the timing of potential policy easing.

Dow Jones Set Fresh Record High
The Dow edged 0.1% higher to a record high, while the S&P 500 added 0.5% and the Nasdaq advanced 0.8%, amid a renewed bid for large-cap technology and AI-linked names that offset lingering caution ahead of key US macro data later this week. Chipmakers and AI infrastructure stocks drove the move, with Nvidia (2.5%) and Broadcom (3.4%) extending gains and Oracle jumping 9.6% after an analyst upgrade tied to AI demand, reinforcing confidence in sustained capital spending on data services. The rebound followed last week’s sharp tech-led selloff, as investors reassessed valuations after forward multiples compressed meaningfully. In contrast, software stocks lagged, reflecting concerns that rapid advances in generative AI could pressure pricing power and cloud growth visibility for legacy platforms. Focus now shifts to the delayed January jobs report and upcoming CPI data, which are expected to refine expectations for the pace of economic cooling and the timing of potential policy easing.
