U.S. stock futures rise on Sunday night ahead of a shortened holiday week, as traders deliberate whether tech can regain its footing before the year’s end.<\/p>\n

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose by 83 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively. <\/p>\n

Wall Street is coming off a mixed week for the major averages. A late-week surge in tech stocks helped lift the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to their third winning week in four, up 0.1% and 0.5%, respectively. The 30-stock Dow, which has outperformed this month, fell 0.7%, snapping a three-week winning streak.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence stocks enjoyed a resurgence last week after their recent underperformance. Shares of Oracle, a major laggard, jumped after TikTok agreed to sell its U.S. operations to a new joint venture<\/a> that includes the software giant and private-equity firm Silver Lake. Nvidia also made a comeback. <\/p>\n

However, investors are watching to see whether AI stocks can retain their leadership heading into the year-end, especially as investors rotate into cheaper parts of the market amid concerns about lofty tech valuations. There’s also doubt about whether a “Santa Claus rally” will materialize, as the S&P 500 struggles to hold a key technical level. <\/p>\n

“My view a couple of weeks ago was an end of year grind,” said Justin Bergner, portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds. “And I think that’s become an end of year churn.” <\/p>\n

The New York Stock Exchange will close early on Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET on Christmas Eve and will be closed Thursday for Christmas Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City, U.S., Dec. 17,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[116,28,122,112,114,21],"class_list":["post-362664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-breaking-news-markets","tag-business","tag-business-news","tag-markets","tag-stock-markets","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
