Stock futures were mixed Tuesday as a global AI selloff intensified and

ahead of earnings from large banks.

Futures linked to the Nasdaq declined after Asian chip stocks sold off overnight. CXMT, one of China's biggest memory makers, said it made good progress on a new DRAM architecture, sparking fears of Chinese competition. Micron, AMD and Intel were under pressure in premarket trading.

Investors are also watching for results and commentary from JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and Citigroup, which are set to report financial results before the opening bell, in what will be used by many investors to help indicate broader economic health.

Meanwhile, oil prices fell after settling higher in the previous session, as traders weighed supply risks from escalating attacks on Saudi Arabia against the prospect of renewed Russian diesel supplies.

Looking ahead, inflation data due Wednesday will be a key test of how much the surge in energy prices is feeding through into the cost of living and how much pressure the Federal Reserve might feel to raise interest rates further, Wealth Club said.

Watch For:

U.S. Existing Home Sales for September; Citigroup 3Q earnings; Goldman Sachs 3Q earnings; Johnson & Johnson 3Q earnings; JPMorgan Chase 3Q earnings; UnitedHealth Group 3Q earnings; Wells Fargo 3Q earnings

MARKET WRAPS Forex:

The dollar remained elevated after reaching an 18-month high on Monday, lifted by softer risk sentiment and comments from Federal Reserve official Beth Hammack arguing for further interest-rate rises, Danske Bank said.

The euro rose.

Sterling could remain firm against the euro for some time after reaching a 16-month high overnight, ING said.

Bonds:

Treasury yields fell on Tuesday, helped by lower oil prices and a pullback in AI stocks.

The potential for the 10-year Treasury yield to rise further appears limited, according to DZ Bank.

Energy:

Brent crude was down 1.1%, while WTI futures slid 1.2%.

Brent crude could fall to $65 a barrel from the second quarter of 2027 if shipping through the Strait of Hormuz normalizes and regional energy infrastructure avoids lasting damage, Citi Research said.

Metals:

Gold edged higher as a pullback in oil prices and a weaker U.S. dollar lent support, with investors awaiting U.S. inflation figures for clues on the Fed's interest-rate outlook.

Gold chart

Comex gold futures may retest support at $4,150 per ounce, RHB Retail Research said. The futures' latest negative price action on the daily chart reaffirms that immediate resistance is still firm at the $4,300-per-ounce level.

IMF Keeps Global Economy Growth Target Unchanged but Warns Resilience Under Strain

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) kept its 2026 global economic growth outlook unchanged and nudged higher its 2027 forecast while its economists warned the world's economic resilience remains strained.

KYIV, Ukraine-Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian strikes had hit energy infrastructure across his country hours after President Trump declared an energy ceasefire between the warring sides.
