Wall Street Set for Higher Open as Chip Rebound Fuels Rally
The recovery came after a correction that erased roughly $1 trillion in market value from US-listed chipmakers late last week. Easing geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel reduced risk premiums and supported renewed investor confidence in growth-oriented sectors. Macro conditions also supported the rally, with Brent crude slipping 1.2% to around $93.08 per barrel and WTI crude falling 1.8% to approximately $89.68 per barrel, reducing pressure on equities.
The 10-year US Treasury yield eased to 4.55%, further supporting risk appetite and technology stock valuations globally.

S&P 500 dropped 2.6%, VIX surged 16.13% in worst day since October
Technology shares led the selloff as investors locked in profits after months of AI-driven gains. The Nasdaq Composite recorded its largest point decline on record, falling more than 1,120 points. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East added to market stress, with traders shifting capital into defensive sectors and reducing exposure to higher-risk growth stocks.
This sharp correction erased roughly $1 trillion in market value from US-listed chipmakers, creating the backdrop for the subsequent recovery as investors reassessed valuations and returned to risk assets on June 9.

Microsoft Slips 1.18% as $37B AI Investment Sparks Payoff Debate
The stock's weakness highlights investor concerns about rising costs pressuring short-term profit growth and free cash flow. Despite strong fundamentals—including robust revenue and cloud growth—the market is shifting focus from AI announcements to real financial results. Microsoft's Azure cloud platform continues supporting large-scale AI workloads for enterprise clients, and the company is integrating Copilot AI features across Microsoft 365 for productivity gains.
The bull case remains intact: Microsoft has strong financial strength to support heavy investment, dominance in enterprise software for fast AI monetization, and diversified revenue from cloud, software, and productivity tools. However, the bear case raises concerns about sustainability of massive capex, delayed returns from AI infrastructure, and margin pressure from rising costs. Investors are now closely watching Azure growth, Copilot adoption rates, capital spending direction, and free cash flow as key metrics to validate whether the $37 billion AI bet will ultimately drive long-term shareholder value.

S&P 500 Up 7.34% in AI-Led Rally, Top 10 Stocks Control 41%
This concentration level is much higher than historical market averages and raises questions about market breadth and sustainability. The S&P 500's market-cap weighting structure amplifies the influence of large companies over time, while passive investing through ETFs increases demand for top-weighted stocks. The rally demonstrates how AI has moved from a theme to a core earnings driver for major corporations, but uneven gains across the broader market suggest weakness beneath the surface.
Many other sectors are contributing less to overall market performance, with equal-weight indices lagging significantly. This divergence highlights the risk of heavy dependency on a small group of stocks, even as the overall index posts strong headline gains.

Nasdaq 100 Futures Jump 0.7% as AI Trade Fuels Rally, S&P 500 Gains 0.4%
US stock futures strengthened ahead of Tuesday’s session, with the Nasdaq 100 futures rising 0.7%, the S&P 500 futures gaining 0.4%, and the Dow Jones futures adding about 0.2%. The move followed Monday’s recovery, when the Nasdaq climbed 1.5%, and the S&P 500 advanced 0.9%, reversing part of Friday’s technology-led selloff. Investors shifted back toward growth stocks as AI-linked names regained momentum across global markets.
The biggest numbers came from semiconductors. Nvidia, Broadcom, and Micron Technology were all higher in premarket trading, with gains ranging from 0.8% to 4.4%. The rebound followed a sharp correction that erased roughly $1 trillion in market value from US-listed chipmakers late last week. Fresh buying emerged as investors continued to focus on long-term AI infrastructure spending and data center demand.
Marvell Technology remained among the strongest performers in the AI ecosystem. The stock surged 9% in the previous session after joining the S&P 500, adding to renewed enthusiasm across the semiconductor sector. The move strengthened sentiment around companies tied to AI servers, networking equipment, and high-performance computing infrastructure.
The AI trade also received another boost from corporate developments. Market participants continued tracking potential public listings from major artificial intelligence companies, reinforcing investor confidence in the broader sector. The positive sentiment helped support technology-heavy indices and kept Nasdaq futures ahead of the broader market before the opening bell.
Outside the US, AI-driven buying was even stronger. South Korea’s KOSPI jumped 8.2%, one of its strongest advances in years, while Taiwan’s Taiex gained 2.8% and China’s Shanghai Composite rose 1.3%. Semiconductor manufacturers and memory-chip stocks accounted for a significant share of the gains, highlighting the global reach of the AI investment theme.
Macro indicators also supported risk appetite. Brent crude slipped 1.2% to around $93.08 per barrel, while WTI crude fell 1.8% to approximately $89.68 per barrel. At the same time, the 10-year US Treasury yield eased to 4.55%, reducing pressure on growth-oriented sectors. Investors are now closely watching the upcoming US inflation report, which could play a key role in shaping expectations for Federal Reserve policy through the remainder of 2026.
