US stock futures hit the buffers on Wednesday as AI disruption fears continued to fuel a shift out of high-flying technology names, with gold and silver once again marching higher.
Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ=F) slipped 0.2%, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) traded broadly flat. But Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) nudged 0.1% higher as investors continued to rotate out of growth into value stocks.
Tech stocks bore the brunt of the selling on Tuesday, with Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT) each closing over 2% lower. Overall, the tech sector posted losses in the S&P 500 of more than 2%.
Adding to the downbeat tone in premarket, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares slid more than 7% as investors reacted negatively to its first-quarter outlook. Elsewhere on the earnings front, Chipotle (CMG) shares tumbled nearly 7% after the restaurant chain reported another quarter of declining customer traffic and warned that same-store sales growth could stall in 2026.
Next up for tech insight are Alphabet (GOOG) and Arm Holdings (ARM), both set to report Wednesday, with Eli Lilly (LLY) another highlight. Amazon (AMZN) is scheduled to release results on Thursday, as the week’s busy stretch of earnings rolls on.
