The AI hangover might be easing
After a bruising run in AI-related stocks, the selling finally stopped long enough for Nasdaq futures to edge higher. That doesn’t mean the coast is clear — it just means traders found a chair after sprinting downhill.
Why investors should care
This kind of tape matters because AI has been carrying a huge chunk of the market’s mood music. When those names wobble, the whole tech complex can get the jitters, and when they steady, risk appetite tends to come back like it never left.
Micron is the next test
Micron Technology is set to report after the close, and that’s the kind of catalyst that can either calm the nerves or fan the flames. If memory-chip demand looks strong, investors may take it as a sign the AI buildout still has legs. If not, well, the selloff may only be taking a lunch break.
Big picture: the market isn’t saying AI is dead — it’s saying the trade is crowded, dramatic, and one bad earnings call away from a plot twist.
