U.S. stock futures are trading lower this morning, driven by uncertainty in the artificial intelligence sector. With no major economic data scheduled, investor focus will shift to upcoming speeches from several Federal Reserve officials.
Stocks to Watch: * Nvidia Corporation: Surged over 5% on Friday after Goldman Sachs projected a significant Q4 revenue beat. * Amazon.com, Inc.: Shares dropped after a Q4 earnings miss and the announcement of a massive $200 billion capital expenditure plan for 2026. * Becton, Dickinson and Company: Fell 2.74% pre-market after its fiscal 2026 guidance significantly missed consensus, despite a Q1 earnings beat. * The Kroger Co.: Gained over 5% in pre-market trading on news related to its CEO. * Hims & Hers Health, Inc.: Declined more than 15% in pre-market activity.
Looking ahead, traders will closely monitor today's speeches from Fed officials for clues on monetary policy, with key payroll and inflation reports scheduled for later this week.
