U.S. Equity Futures Rise as Oil Declines

U.S. stock futures are higher in premarket trading with investors monitoring technology shares after last week’s slide.
The moves come after a stock rebound on Friday although the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 fell nearly 5% last week. Tech will also be in focus on the back of news that the Nvidia (NVDA) board of directors is opening investigating co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s relationship with a businesswoman who U.S. intelligence agencies say is a Chinese spy. Nvidia shares are down about 5% in premarket trading.
Investors will be focusing on earnings and economic data this week. Reports are due from CoreWeave (CRWV), Applied Materials (AMAT) and Cisco (CSCO) this week. On the data front, traders will look at Tuesday’s CPI report for clarity on inflation.
