Wall Street Rebounds After Tech Sell-Off

Wall Street futures are indicating a positive start to the trading week, recovering from a significant downturn that saw the Nasdaq suffer its worst weekly performance since June. The previous week was marked by investor apprehension surrounding the AI trade, exacerbated by the sharp decline of companies like CoreWeave and questions about Anthropic's growth trajectory justifying its valuation. Goldman Sachs highlighted that AI credit spreads are at their widest of the year, a condition historically preceding significant equity drops.

Adding to market volatility, oil prices have remained a key focus, with Brent crude touching $110 a barrel. Ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure between Russia and Ukraine, including drone strikes impacting Russian refineries, suggest potential long-term energy disruptions. This week's economic calendar features the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey but is dominated by a packed schedule of corporate earnings reports. Key companies such as Netflix, Meta, and Tesla are set to release their quarterly results, providing further insight into economic health.

Federal Reserve officials have entered a quiet period ahead of their upcoming policy announcement on October 28. US 10-year bond yields are hovering around 5.1%, with the US Dollar index stable near 102, reflecting current market conditions as investors anticipate the week's financial developments and corporate disclosures.
