What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Brent crude futures fell 1.8 percent to around USD 107 a barrel after US President Donald Trump waived some sanctions on Russia. Nasdaq futures rose 1.08 percent and S&P 500 futures gained 0.5 percent, supported by easing crude oil prices and a decline in the 10-year US Treasury bond yield to 5.085 percent. Despite this, technology stocks were weighed down by concerns that higher interest rates could hamper investment in AI infrastructure.
