08:05 10/08 UTC — Bearish
US equity futures and global markets face selling pressure driven by spiking crude oil prices and rising Treasury bond yields following a high-yield Treasury auction. Tech sentiment is split, with strong operational lease growth in Applied Digital contrasting against growth concerns in TSMC and Micron. Investors are closely monitoring upcoming US jobless claims and energy supply risks.
Market sentiment is under pressure from rising oil prices triggered by Gulf of Mexico storm evacuations and Middle East tensions, combined with benchmark bond yield spikes following a 5.3% Treasury auction yield. Tech and semiconductor equities are displaying mixed performance; despite strong datacenter leasing updates from Applied Digital and elevated revenue outlooks from Marvell, TSMC's month-over-month revenue deceleration and broader trade deficit concerns are weighing on market futures.
Outlook
Bearish · Intraday (Medium)
Base — Likely
Index futures stay under pressure as elevated Treasury yields and energy cost spikes suppress broader market risk tolerance.
Bull — Possible
Favorable US jobless claims data encourages algorithmic short-covering and dip-buying in major tech indices.
