U.S. stocks are opening lower after hotter-than-expected inflation added to December rate-hike expectations. Anthropic announces IPO pricing.

It’s been a brutal backdrop in stocks and that started even before the election. And, notably, the day after last week’s election results saw a vigorous bounce, indicating that there’s something else behind the bearish push.

The Nasdaq and S&P 500 outlook hinges on oversold signals after AI data center fears reversed early post-election gains while silver rebounds.

The Nasdaq 100 rebound has run into former support as fears over AI regulation and spending linger. Fawad Razaqzada explains why he maintains a cautious forecast and where the key levels sit.

The Nasdaq sell-off deepened as doubts over AI spending, weak chip earnings and the threat of tighter AI regulation hit U.S. tech stocks.

An extraordinary sell-off has left Nasdaq 100 futures deeply oversold, but history suggests further downside is common before a sustained recovery takes hold.

Wall Street's AI-led rout sends Nikkei futures plunging 9%, while ASX 200 futures hold relatively firm despite surging volatility and broader risk aversion.

The Democratic sweep in the US midterms delivered the negative dollar reaction I had anticipated, but that upsurge in stocks was not something I or many others had anticipated. Fears that a Democrat-controlled Congress would trigger a broader sell-off in technology stocks proved premature. Nevertheless, the sector remains under pressure. The political outcome may help explain the Nasdaq’s relative underperformance with futures falling 0.8% today. Sharp falls in shares of Arm and Qualcomm following their results are certainly not helping. While the removal of midterm uncertainty provided a broad-based boost to risk appetite yesterday, investors may be starting to price in the prospect of tighter regulatory scrutiny of Big Tech, particularly around AI, under greater Democratic influence in Congress. This could become a headwind for technology valuations, even if the immediate impact on corporate earnings remains unclear.

A Democratic win in the U.S. midterm elections is supporting rebounds in risk assets, including precious metals, currency pairs, cryptocurrencies and U.S. indices. This reaction appears to align with changing sentiment around the war and its inflationary impact.

A potential Democratic sweep of Congress is adding to the AI trade's headaches, with Nasdaq 100 futures breaking below a major technical level. The implications for the dollar could be significant.

The Nasdaq 100 was finding some support at 28,000 after recent sell-off amid concerns about the AI trade. Even with oscillators oversold, the risk to the near-term forecast is tilted to the downside.

U.S. stock indices are moving higher on Monday as tech and AI-related stocks steady following a shocking October. The mood remains cautious following the AI wobble, with more tech earnings due this week, U.S. midterm elections and a full U.S. economic data calendar.

The Nasdaq 100 has printed a bearish monthly key reversal after a brutal October, with weak market breadth and heavy losses among AI beneficiaries raising the risk of further downside.
