U.S. Stock Futures Recover Slightly Following Nvidia CEO Departure
U.S. equity futures saw a modest recovery on Thursday evening after major indices faced downward pressure earlier in the session. The volatility was primarily driven by a 4.3% drop in Nvidia shares following the sudden resignation of founder and CEO Jensen Huang amid an ongoing scandal involving intelligence concerns. While some analysts warned of a potential 20% correction for the chipmaker, others suggested the company's strong position would allow for a smooth transition under interim CEO Colette Kress. In related sector news, Cerebras shares surged 18% in extended trading after reporting a revenue beat and announcing a deal with Microsoft. Investors are now shifting focus toward Friday's Labor Department producer price index (PPI) report to gauge wholesale inflation trends. Despite the turbulence in high-profile AI stocks, some investors view the Nvidia sell-off as a valuation opportunity.
