Stock futures increased on Monday after a mixed performance last week. Investors are shifting out of tech stocks into areas of the market that have lower valuations, while preparing for several key U.S. economic reports set to release this week.
Market Performance Overview
The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained 249 points or 0.5%. The S&P 500 futures rose by 0.5%, and Nasdaq-100 futures went up by 0.7%. In contrast, last week, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite saw declines.
The S&P 500 fell by 0.6%, and the Nasdaq dropped 1.7%. The Dow, with less focus on tech stocks, managed a rise of 1.1% during the same period.
Tech Stock Declines and Future Outlook
Oracle’s stock plummeted by 12.7%, while Broadcom lost more than 7%. The tech sector in the S&P 500 declined by 2.3% overall. Analysts suggest that increased competition in artificial intelligence could affect the market leaders.
Ed Yardeni from Yardeni Research noted that the leading tech companies may face challenges in 2026 as competition grows, possibly benefiting other market segments.
Upcoming Economic Reports
This week’s economic reports could heavily influence market trends. Nonfarm payrolls for November will be released on Tuesday, along with delayed retail sales figures from October due to a recent government shutdown.
Additionally, the November consumer price index is scheduled for release on Thursday, which is anticipated to provide insight into inflation and economic health.
