Investors remain watchful ahead of key PMI data and major tech earnings.
Equity markets are showing mixed signals in pre-market action as a sharp decline in crude oil prices provides broad macro relief, counterbalanced by individual tech stock headwinds. Market participants are showing hesitation ahead of the upcoming PMI report and major tech earnings, notably Apple and Palantir. High-profile semiconductor M&A and ongoing concern over AI infrastructure financing are driving significant single-stock volatility.
