US Futures Pull Back

2026-07-13 11:31 By Andre Joaquim 1 min. read

Futures tracking US equity indices were firmly lower on Monday, pressured by fresh weakness for AI companies and more macroeconomic uncertainty.

Contracts for the S&P 500 fell 0.3% and those for the Nasdaq 100 fell over 1%, while the Dow was only marginally below the flatline.

Chip producers were under fresh pressure to indicate persistent uncertainty on whether the sector will deliver the ambitious guidance that backed its speculative rally.

SK Hynix ADRs were 8% down after surging 13% in its issue on Friday as a Korean broker stated it could miss its next earnings.

Nvidia, AMD, and Intel fell over 1% premarket while memory producers Sandisk and Micron lost more than 3%.

Other sectors were also under pressure as repeated strikes between the US and Iran continued to hamper energy exports out of the Middle East, risking inflation and lifting credit costs.

Major banks were mixed ahead of their earnings reports tomorrow, with JPMorgan and Bank of America both hovering near the flatline.

US Futures Slip Ahead of Earnings Deluge
US stock futures edged lower on Monday as investors prepared for a busy week of corporate earnings while keeping a close watch on escalating tensions in the Middle East. Major US banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, are set to report their latest quarterly results. Other companies scheduled to release earnings include Johnson & Johnson, GE Aerospace, UnitedHealth Group, Intuitive Surgical, and Netflix. S&P 500 companies are expected to post a 24% increase in second-quarter profits, offering a key test of whether strong earnings can support an artificial intelligence-driven rally. Investors are also awaiting key US inflation data this week for further clues on the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Meanwhile, the US and Iran exchanged fresh missile strikes over the weekend amid persistent tensions over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
