Stock futures were trading lower Tuesday as Wall Street struggles to regain its footing after yet another losing week. Technology stocks, including beaten-down software names, led the early selling.<\/p>\n
Futures tied to the S&P 500 were down 0.4%, while Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> shed 0.8%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures<\/a> fell 83 points, or 0.2%.<\/p>\n The New York Stock Exchange was closed on Monday in observance of Presidents’ Day.<\/p>\n Meta Platforms<\/a> and Nvidia<\/a> dropped around 1% each in Tuesday’s premarket. Palantir Technologies<\/a> also lost more than 2%. Memory chip makers like Micron Technology<\/a> and Sandisk<\/a>, which have been big winners this year, were lower.<\/p>\n The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV)<\/a> lost 1% in premarket trading, set to add to its 21% loss this year. The software sector is getting hit on fear artificial intelligence tools could replace industry-specific software providers. Autodesk and Salesforce were lower in premarket trading.<\/p>\n The S&P 500<\/a> is coming off its second consecutive losing week as fears about AI’s disruption hit industries such as software, real estate, trucking and financial services. Both the S&P 500 and blue-chip Dow<\/a> lost more than 1% last week, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite<\/a> lost more than 2%.<\/p>\n “The AI disruption vigilantes were at it again … with new targets,” said Daniel Skelly, head of the market research and strategy wealth management team at Morgan Stanley. “With the S&P 500 flattish for the year, the bull market has certainly paused, and given way to a bull market in ‘disruption hysteria.'”<\/p>\n The Dow and S&P 500 both logged their fourth losing weeks of the last five. The Nasdaq recorded its fifth straight negative week, its longest losing streak since 2022.<\/p>\n Those concerns appeared to overshadow the latest consumer price index reading<\/a> released Friday. The headline CPI data came in softer than economists polled by Dow Jones predicted for January. That followed a better-than-expected jobs report earlier in the week.<\/p>\n Investors will get more insight into the path of inflation<\/a> this week, with the personal consumption expenditure report slated for Friday. Before then, they’ll monitor Federal Reserve meeting minutes on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Palo Alto Networks<\/a> reports earnings after the bell on Tuesday. DoorDash<\/a>, Walmart<\/a> and Wayfair<\/a> share results later in the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on February 13, 2026 in New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":473915,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[219688,219689,68446,116,28,122,45694,63284,120,213762,214220,213758,204617,112,2195,5239,1535,63286,121,3487,1539,2196,63285,117,1538,14457,213761,114,147571,21,66226,5683,50354],"class_list":{"0":"post-473914","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-es26h","9":"tag-nq26h","10":"tag-autodesk-inc","11":"tag-breaking-news-markets","12":"tag-business","13":"tag-business-news","14":"tag-doordash-inc","15":"tag-dow-jones-fut-sep25","16":"tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","17":"tag-fidelity-nasdaq-composite-index-track","18":"tag-invesco-qqq-trust","19":"tag-ishares-expanded-tech-software-sector-etf","20":"tag-ishares-north-american-tech-software-etf","21":"tag-markets","22":"tag-meta-platforms-inc","23":"tag-micron-technology-inc","24":"tag-morgan-stanley","25":"tag-nasdaq-100-fut-sep25","26":"tag-nasdaq-composite","27":"tag-nvidia-corp","28":"tag-palantir-technologies-inc","29":"tag-palo-alto-networks-inc","30":"tag-sp-500-fut-sep25","31":"tag-sp-500-index","32":"tag-salesforce-inc","33":"tag-sandisk-corp","34":"tag-spdr-dow-jones-industrial-average-etf-trust","35":"tag-stock-markets","36":"tag-technology-select-sector-spdr-fund","37":"tag-united-states","38":"tag-vanguard-sp-500-etf","39":"tag-walmart-inc","40":"tag-wayfair-inc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473914","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=473914"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473914\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
