Market Outlook: Tech Sell-off and Rising Oil Prices Drive Morning Weakness
U.S. stock futures are trending lower this Thursday, driven by post-earnings declines in major technology names such as Meta Platforms (META) and Tesla (TSLA), alongside weakness in the semiconductor sector. The downturn in chips is being led by Lam Research (LRCX), which saw shares drop nearly 9% following disappointing quarterly guidance. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have pushed Brent crude prices up approximately 2% to $111 per barrel. While some companies like Honeywell Technologies (HON) and Procter & Gamble (PG) are showing resilience or gains, the broader market is reacting to mixed earnings results and shifting capital expenditure outlooks. Investors are also monitoring bond yields, which have declined, suggesting a potential flight to safety amid volatility in AI-driven growth stocks and rising energy costs.
