U.S. stock futures sink, Nasdaq down 2% as Amazon, Intel earnings spark tech rout - Investing.com — Stock futures drop sharply on Friday

Stock futures plunged Friday as Amazon and Intel's earnings caused a selloff. Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 2%, reflecting a rout in the tech sector. Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures also fell. Weak earnings from major tech firms contributed to the drop. Asia's stock markets faced sharp drops, while bonds saw a haven bid boost. The selloff was driven by anxiety over the tech sector's performance.

“Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 2%, reflecting a rout in the tech sector,” — Farah Vance, economic affairs editor at Greenley Cliff Recruitment, explained.
