Chip stocks lift US stock index futures as Nasdaq leads

Oil prices slid, even as chip-related stocks revived and lifted futures tied to major US indexes.

Reported · Written up by our desk · Futures

US stock index futures rose as chip stocks regained strength, with the Nasdaq leading compared with the Dow and S&P 500, according to WSJ Markets.

Yahoo Finance reported that futures climbed broadly alongside the chip stock rebound, keeping focus on the tech-led momentum in the US session.

WSJ Markets also noted that oil fell, with the commodity moving lower despite reports of continued fighting in the Middle East.
