U.S. stock futures rose early Monday as investors cautiously returned to equities following last week\u2019s sell-off in artificial intelligence-related shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasdaq 100 futures gained 1.32%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures advanced 0.53%, or 278 points. S&P 500 futures added 0.2%. Stable oil prices also provided some support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian markets were mixed. Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 fell 1.65%, South Korea\u2019s Kospi dropped 1.29%, and China\u2019s CSI 300 slipped 0.28%. Australia\u2019s S&P\/ASX 200 gained 0.37%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, the S&P 500 declined nearly 2%, marking its biggest weekly loss since late June. The Nasdaq tumbled 4.5%, ending a four-week winning streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investor concerns intensified following reports that Anthropic\u2019s third-quarter revenue reached $16.8 billion, up from $11.6 billion in the previous quarter. However, the figures raised questions about the sustainability of AI-related growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CoreWeave became a focal point of these concerns, plunging 25% last week amid worries about its debt-funded data center expansion. Its credit default swaps also reached distressed levels. Goldman Sachs traders warned that AI-related credit spreads had widened significantly, raising concerns about slowing capital expenditure, financing risks and returns on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions involving Russia, Ukraine and shipping routes in the Persian Gulf kept energy markets in focus, although Brent and WTI crude futures edged lower Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors are now looking to earnings from major companies, including Meta Platforms and Tesla, for potential catalysts to stabilize markets this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
