Earnings Misses and Oil Price Rebound Pressure US Markets
What happened
US stock futures sank on the final trading day of the month. This occurred after Amazon and Alphabet posted rare earnings misses, which rekindled concerns about Big Tech's spending on AI ambitions. Concurrently, oil prices rebounded, with Brent crude futures rising to $112 per barrel and WTI crude reaching $103 per barrel. ExxonMobil, Chevron Corporation, AbbVie, and AstraZeneca are scheduled to report results before the open on Friday.
