Nasdaq futures drop nearly 400 points after AI updates; Brent jumps 3% to $108
US equity futures, led by tech-heavy Nasdaq, are sharply lower as AI leaders call for slower deployment and added safeguards, weighing on AI/semiconductor risk appetite. Separately, a hotter-than-expected US core CPI print lifts the implied probability of a Fed hike and keeps long yields near 5%, tightening financial conditions. Meanwhile, Saudi pipeline disruptions and delayed regional talks push oil higher, adding to inflation sensitivities.
