Bloomberg, the Financial Times and The Washington Times report that US stock futures rebounded after a selloff in technology and AI-related shares on Friday. The Financial Times says Nasdaq 100 futures rose 1.3 percent after their biggest weekly drop since the April 2025 “liberation day” tariff announcement. Bloomberg reports that oil slipped as investors looked ahead to a busy week of corporate earnings and Chinese economic data. The Washington Times reports that AI stocks were recovering some of last week’s steep losses while the broader US market and global stocks remained unsteady on Monday, and that European markets fell after protests. The reports describe the move as a rebound but agree that markets were still volatile.
