GoKawiilNasdaq futures rebound after last week's 4.5% AI-stock selloff
Futures point to a higher open for tech stocks, led by the Nasdaq, following a week in which AI-related shares tumbled and the index fell 4.5%. Yorkville Ives partner Dan Ives called the drawdown a 'golden buying opportunity,' while BTIG urged clients to use any semiconductor rebound to cut exposure. CoreWeave and Nebius, both down sharply last week, were also set to open higher Monday.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The split between analysts calling this a buying dip and others warning of further declines suggests genuine uncertainty about whether AI-stock weakness reflects a temporary pullback or a deeper reassessment of valuations. The VIX hitting its highest level since June indicates rising investor anxiety, which could make Monday's bounce fragile if sentiment doesn't hold through the week.
- Nasdaq futures point to a rebound after last week's 4.5% drop tied to AI-sector jitters.
- Analysts are split: some see a buying opportunity, others recommend reducing exposure to semiconductors.
- The Cboe Volatility Index hit its highest level since June, signaling growing fear of a bigger market correction.
