Market Update: Tech Earnings, Fed Decision & More

Nasdaq & S&P 500 Futures Rebound

Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures ticked higher on Wednesday after markets stabilized from early-week sell-offs. The sell-off was triggered by Chinese startup DeepSeek’s new AI model, which raised concerns about Big Tech’s AI spending. However, many analysts are pushing back on the fears, suggesting this could actually accelerate AI investment rather than slow it down.

Nasdaq futures: +96 points (+0.5%)
S&P 500 futures: +8 points (+0.1%)
Dow futures: -34 points (-0.1%)

Tuesday saw a strong market recovery, with the Nasdaq Composite up 2.0%. Nvidia (NVDA) led the rebound, jumping 8.9% after Monday’s record-breaking $593 billion market cap loss.

Big Tech Earnings on Deck

Tech giants Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), and Tesla (TSLA) are set to report earnings after the bell Wednesday, with Apple (AAPL) following on Thursday. Given recent AI market turbulence, investors will be paying close attention to whether these companies adjust their AI spending strategies.

Federal Reserve Decision Incoming

The Fed is expected to hold interest rates steady, keeping them in the 4.25%-4.5% range. Analysts note that rate cuts aren’t likely until at least June unless we see significant economic weakness. Markets will closely watch Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference for any hints about future policy shifts.

ASML & LVMH Earnings

ASML (AS:ASML) soared 10% after reporting strong demand for its semiconductor manufacturing equipment, despite AI spending concerns.
LVMH (EPA:LVMH) dropped 4% as its luxury goods sales growth underwhelmed investors.

Oil Prices Steady

Oil prices stabilized Wednesday:

WTI Crude: +0.2% to $73.96 per barrel
Brent Crude: +0.1% to $76.53 per barrel

This follows an increase in U.S. crude stockpiles and concerns over global economic growth, fueled by potential trade tariffs from the Trump administration.
