US Stocks Indices Lifted by Tech Rebound

2026-10-19 20:15 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

US stock indices closed mostly higher on Monday as a rebound in heavyweight AI stocks offset losses across broader sectors.

Tech gains lifted the S&P 500 by 0.4% and the Nasdaq 100 by 1.2%, while the Dow closed near flat.

The advance marked a reversal from last week’s tech weakness, when underwhelming financial results from Anthropic and signs of debt stress among cloud providers, particularly CoreWeave, dampened demand for speculative positions in the sector.

Dip buyers lifted Micron by 3.1%, Intel by 3% and Amazon by 5%.

Nvidia (+1.4%), Alphabet (+1.2%), Microsoft (+0.8%) and Tesla (+3.4%) also advanced.

Bank stocks fell following last week’s earnings releases, with Morgan Stanley down 1%, Bank of America losing 1.7% and Wells Fargo slipping 2.5%.

US Futures Waver
Futures tracking US stocks were mostly lower on Tuesday as the tech sector remained volatile on fresh worries about data center financing ahead of key earnings results. Contracts for the S&P 500 were slightly down, while those for the Nasdaq 100 fell 0.6% and the Dow was flat. South Korean AI-infrastructure provider Elice plunged 32% following its IPO in Seoul, the latest in a series of signals that markets have grown fatigued by the soaring levels of financing that chipmakers and data center operators are asking for. CoreWeave sank 5% premarket following the plunge in its bonds last week. Micron, Marvell, and Arm were nearly 3% lower. Meanwhile, SpaceX dropped 1% ahead of its recently announced earnings results due after the closing bell, which may have been brought forward to enable another capital raise. On the other hand, traditional economic sectors consolidated following losses yesterday. Walmart, ExxonMobil, and Eli Lilly gained over 1%.
