2026-06-02 00:16 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

US stock futures edged lower on Tuesday after the major indexes reached fresh record highs during the first trading session of June, as ongoing geopolitical uncertainties continued to drive market volatility.

In regular trading on Monday, the Dow added 0.09%, the S&P 500 advanced 0.26%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.42%, with all three benchmarks finishing at new all-time highs.

Technology stocks led the rally following the debut of a new PC chip.

Among the top gainers were Micron Technology (6.6%), Nvidia (6.3%), Oracle (9.9%), IBM (7.6%), and Dell Technologies (10.7%).

In after-hours trading, Hewlett Packard Enterprise jumped 28% after providing a strong quarterly outlook and raising its full-year guidance.

Investors are now awaiting the latest JOLTS job openings report, along with earnings results from Palo Alto Networks, Dollar General, and Victoria’s Secret, among others.

US Stock Market Mixed as Chipmakers Slide
US stocks closed mixed on Monday as losses in chipmakers offset gains across broader sectors. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% and the Nasdaq lost 1%, while the Dow added 140 points. AI infrastructure stocks led the declines amid persistent uncertainty over returns in the sector, although support from upcoming LLM developer IPOs helped offset concerns that capital spending on chips may have been excessive. Broadcom fell 2.6%, Micron lost 5.8%, AMD shed 3.5%, Intel retreated 3.1% and Sandisk tumbled 6.4%. Nvidia dropped 2.9% ahead of its earnings report on Wednesday, the next major catalyst for the AI trade. Meanwhile, energy prices eased but remained elevated as the US pledged to isolate Iran economically, adding to concerns over inflation as high energy costs magnified the impact of elevated deficit spending and Treasury bond-buyback efforts. Still, credit services stocks recovered from last week’s pullback, with Visa up 3.1% and Mastercard adding 3.3%.
