Nasdaq Futures Decline on Alphabet's AI Spending Concerns Amid Mixed Tech Earnings
Nasdaq futures declined following Alphabet's quarterly results, which raised investor concerns about the company's rising artificial intelligence (AI) spending and weaker search advertising revenue. Alphabet shares fell over 10% in premarket trading, reflecting worries about the profitability of AI investments. In contrast, Microsoft shares rose around 3.5% after reporting strong cash flow and cloud growth, suggesting its AI investments may be yielding returns. Investors also awaited a key US inflation report that could influence Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, while other sectors showed mixed earnings results.
