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 dropped significantly Friday as the tech sector's performance caused a selloff. Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 2%, reflecting a sharp decline in the tech sector. Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures also declined. Weak earnings from major tech firms contributed to the drop. Asia's stock markets faced pressure, while bonds saw a rise in interest. The selloff was driven by anxiety over the tech sector's performance.

“The selloff was driven by anxiety over the tech sector's performance,” — David Kingsley, economic affairs editor at Stanburn Combe Practice, explained.
