FX.co ★ US Futures Rise Ahead of Busy Earnings Week

US stock futures rose on Monday as investors geared up for a busy week of corporate earnings and reassessed the outlook for AI‑related investments. Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 0.7%, while S&P 500 and Dow futures each gained about 0.4%. Market participants are awaiting results from major companies including Tesla, Meta, Netflix, American Express, and GE Aerospace.

The upbeat futures followed a difficult week for equities: the Nasdaq Composite dropped 4.48% and the S&P 500 fell 1.95% as technology shares came under pressure amid mounting concerns over AI financing. CoreWeave, a “neocloud” company that relies heavily on debt to fund data centers leased to technology firms, has become a key focus of these worries. Its shares tumbled 25% over the past week, while corporate bond investors have begun shunning its debt, driving the cost of its credit default swaps to distressed levels.
