Futures point higher Tuesday as falling oil and bond yields give stocks room to breathe. The Nasdaq Composite closed Monday at a record 27,477.31, and the S&P 500 sits less than 1% from its own all-time high.
The AI trade is doing the heavy lifting again: Google struck a 3,590 MW nuclear power deal with Constellation, OpenAI is raising $30B at a $1.4T valuation, and AMD’s CEO says chip demand is “very, very high.” But with the 10-year still near 5.3% and CPI due next week, the bond market hasn’t surrendered.
