3 Key Points

What happened
Nasdaq 100 futures fell 2.6%, and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 350 points, or 0.7%, as technology stocks came under heavy selling pressure. The selloff was triggered by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist leaving Alphabet for artificial intelligence startup Anthropic.
Why it matters
