The takeaway
The split between S&P and Nasdaq Futures turning higher while Dow Futures slipped reflects a market sorting through the AI-led tech selloff rather than a broad-based retreat. With the Nasdaq in correction territory, the next move hinges on whether buyers return to the growth names that led the decline.
Friday's October jobs report is the near-term catalyst, with implications for the rate path after a Democratic sweep prompted markets to rethink Federal Reserve policy. Traders will watch whether S&P Futures hold their early gains, the direction of the Russia nuclear-doctrine headlines on yields and the dollar, and Oil as investors weigh Iran conflict risk against a sharp weekly decline.
