FX.co ★ US Futures Mixed After Long Weekend

US stock futures were mixed on Tuesday as investors returned from the long holiday weekend, with Wall Street attempting to regain its footing after last week’s broad-based selloff driven by mounting concerns over AI-related disruption across multiple sectors. Last week, the Dow lost 1.23%, the S&P 500 slipped 1.39%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.1%. Software stocks were among the hardest hit, as the rise of increasingly advanced AI tools such as Anthropic PBC’s Claude Cowork intensified worries about longer-term pressure on traditional software business models. By contrast, semiconductor shares held up relatively well, supported by expectations that expanding AI adoption will continue to fuel demand for high-performance computing and advanced chips. Investors are now turning to a new wave of corporate earnings for guidance, with results due this week from Walmart, Warner Bros. Discovery, Booking Holdings, Deere & Company, and Palo Alto Networks.
