- Stock futures rose across major US indexes, with chipmakers and strong corporate earnings cited as the catalysts for the move.
- AI stocks gathered additional strength in the session, notably holding gains even as Brent crude oil topped $90 a barrel.
- The Nasdaq led the advance, outpacing the Dow and S&P 500 futures as chip stocks revived and AI-related names extended their rally.
Why it matters: Chip-driven futures leadership signals sector rotation back into tech risk-on positioning, and the Nasdaq's outperformance gives traders an early read on sentiment ahead of the cash session open.
