US Futures Rebound as Nasdaq Turns Negative for Year Amid AI Sector Concerns

US stock futures saw a slight corrective bounce on Tuesday, with Dow Jones futures rising 0.28%, S&P 500 by 0.18%, and Nasdaq 100 by 0.25%. Despite this uptick, the Nasdaq index has officially turned negative for the current year, marking a significant technical deterioration in market sentiment. Adding to the pressure, new concerns regarding disruptions in the AI sector have emerged as a fresh driver of market uncertainty. This follows a period of intense selling triggered by President Trump's 15% tariff hike, which kept the CNN Fear and Greed Index firmly in the 'Fear' zone. Investors remain cautious as they navigate the intersection of trade policy shifts and evolving risks within the technology sector, bracing for further volatility in SPY and QQQ.
