S&P 500, Dow Jones, NASDAQ futures record upward movement after Wall Street sees big slump due to AI stocks, including Nvidia and suspense over interest rate cuts; check key indices
The stock market's latest rollercoaster features a classic twist: after a nail-biting plunge triggered by AI stocks like Nvidia faltering and investors fretting over possible stagnation in interest rate cuts, the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and NASDAQ futures staged a modest but telling rebound. It's as if the market took a deep breath after a scare and decided to rally cautiously, signaling a blend of resilience and lingering uncertainty about the economic outlook.
This bounce-back in futures follows a sharp slump on November 14, 2025, when heavy losses in top AI-related stocks sparked widespread declines—S&P 500 dropped 1.7%, Dow Jones lost 1.7%, and NASDAQ slid 2.3%. The downturn was fueled by concerns that the Federal Reserve might hold off on further interest rate cuts amidst inflation worries and mixed economic signals. However, futures gains indicate investors are recalibrating, possibly anticipating stability or slight optimism despite the recent volatility. Key AI industry players, including Nvidia, still weigh heavily on market sentiment, underscoring how intertwined technological sector performance is with broader market dynamics.
