Futures mixed at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on tech stocks and concerns about AI investment as Open AI gets a lot of attention. Oil, US/Iran and King Charles also in focus.

From Bloomberg

  • "Technology stocks led equity markets lower as concerns over whether the vast amount of investment in artificial intelligence will pay off resurfaced. Brent rose above $110 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz stayed shut.

  • Nasdaq 100 futures slipped 0.7%, with tech on the back foot after the Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI recently failed to meet its goals for new users and sales. SoftBank Group Corp., a key backer of ChatGPT’s owner, slumped 9.9% in Tokyo. US-based OpenAI partners including Oracle Corp. and CoreWeave Inc. fell in premarket trading. Nvidia Corp. was poised to drop 1.7% from a record high.

  • Brent advanced for a seventh straight day. The White House said President Donald Trump will address a proposal from Iran to reopen Hormuz “very soon.” The dollar rose alongside global bond yields. The yen, meanwhile, reversed gains after Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda refrained from giving a decisive signal on when interest rates may rise. S&P 500 contracts fell 0.3%.

  • Tech stocks are taking a breather after an 18-day advance in chipmakers fueled a nearly 10% gain in the S&P 500 in April. Resurgent optimism about AI stood behind the charge as the rest of the market lagged due to rising oil prices. Wednesday’s earnings from four hyperscalers will offer the rally another test."
