US stock futures were mixed on Tuesday as investors returned from the long holiday weekend, with Wall Street attempting to regain its footing after last week’s broad-based selloff driven by mounting concerns over AI-related disruption across multiple sectors. Last week, the Dow lost 1.23%, the S&P 500 slipped 1.39%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.1%. Software stocks were among the hardest hit, as the rise of increasingly advanced AI tools such as Anthropic PBC’s Claude Cowork intensified worries about longer-term pressure on traditional software business models. By contrast, semiconductor shares held up relatively well, supported by expectations that expanding AI adoption will continue to fuel demand for high-performance computing and advanced chips. Investors are now turning to a new wave of corporate earnings for guidance, with results due this week from Walmart, Warner Bros. Discovery, Booking Holdings, Deere & Company, and Palo Alto Networks.
