NEW YORK — Nasdaq 100 index futures inched lower early Friday, reflecting ongoing investor caution following a volatile week for artificial intelligence-related stocks and turbulence surrounding chip giant Nvidia.
Market uncertainty intensified earlier in the week as sharp movements in prominent artificial intelligence stocks sparked concerns over the sector's momentum. Nvidia shares, which suffered a roughly 11% decline through Thursday's close, managed to recover some ground with a 1.8% gain in premarket trading on Friday.
The broader market remains sensitive to shifts in the semiconductor industry and high-flying tech names, keeping market participants on edge as they evaluate valuations and near-term trading direction.
