U.S. stock market futures for the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones are struggling after a tumultuous trading session last Friday, which saw significant losses across major indices. The Nasdaq plummeted 4.2%, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones fell by over 2% and 1%, respectively. This downturn was largely attributed to a hot jobs report that raised concerns about potential interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, dampening investor sentiment in tech stocks. The situation in the Middle East, particularly Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, has also contributed to rising oil prices, with Brent crude futures increasing by 2.6% to $95.45 per barrel. The U.S. dollar remains strong, trading above 160 yen. In the tech sector, major companies like Nvidia and Broadcom faced selling pressure, with Broadcom's shares dropping nearly 8% after a disappointing revenue forecast. Bitcoin, meanwhile, suffered its heaviest weekly drop since the FTX collapse, falling about 16% and hovering just below $63,000 on Monday morning.
