Stock futures plunged Friday as Amazon and Intel's earnings caused a selloff. Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 2%, reflecting a sharp decline in the tech sector. Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures also dropped. Weak earnings from major tech firms contributed to the drop. Asia's stock markets faced sharp drops, while bonds saw a increase in demand. The selloff was driven by fears over the tech sector's performance.
“Weak earnings from major tech firms contributed to the drop,” — Priya Delgado, research director at Greenwell Worth Services, told our newsroom.
