Nasdaq Futures Recover Slightly Following AI-Driven Market Correction
The Nasdaq has entered correction territory following a massive AI-driven selloff that saw the index drop 5.5%. The downturn was characterized by significant losses among major technology players, with the 'Magnificent Seven' losing over $1 trillion in aggregate market capitalization. Nvidia (NVDA) was hit particularly hard, shedding more than $440 billion in value during a single session. While futures suggest a modest recovery for chip and neocloud stocks, global markets have faced intense volatility. Japan's Nikkei entered bear market territory following a 6% decline, and South Korean heavyweights like Samsung and SK Hynix saw double-digit losses. Investors are now closely watching upcoming October nonfarm payroll data to gauge the health of the labor market amidst this heightened volatility.
