- US stock futures fell across major indexes as investors weighed fresh AI safety concerns alongside a separate move higher in oil prices
- Anthropic led a high-profile call for an AI slowdown, helping drag tech stocks lower and shaking investor sentiment in the AI sector
- The S&P 500 turned lower in the same session, extending the broad-market selloff, while traders also positioned for an upcoming Fed meeting
Why it matters: Tech-heavy indexes led the decline as Anthropic's call for an AI slowdown added a sector-specific headwind on top of an already cautious tape ahead of the Fed's next decision, while rising oil prices gave investors a second macro concern to digest simultaneously.
