A trader works at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, USA, September 16, 2026. Jeenah Moon | ReutersUSA Stock futures rose slightly Monday night, following a mostly bullish session on Wall Street as investors poured back into tech names after a fierce sell-off last week. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures traded 56 points higher, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures rose 0.1%, while Nasdaq-100 futures advanced 0.2%. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% in regular trading, while the Nasdaq Composite gained more than 1%, with technology leading the way. Nvidia added 1.4% and Tesla jumped 3.8%. Alphabet shares advanced about 1%. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.79% on Tuesday, while South Korea’s Kospi lost 2.31%. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 traded 0.6% lower. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.11%, while mainland China’s CSI 300 lost 0.58%. Last week, the technology suffered a decline that spread to the broader market, as concerns grew about companies borrowing too much money for their artificial intelligence developments. “The improving mood regarding the outlook for modern technology has Wall Street breathing a sigh of relief as participants exit hedges, after the cost of volatility protection soared intraday on Friday, ahead of intensifying selling,” wrote José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers. CoreWeave, which fell more than 25% last week, attempted to recover some of that drop after an upgrade from Goldman Sachs to buy. However, early gains faded and the stock closed slightly lower. On Tuesday, investors will analyze a series of corporate earnings. United Airlines will report after the bell, while General Motors will report before the open. It’s a busy earnings week, with roughly 70 S&P 500 companies available to report results. Figures on home construction starts and pending home sales will also be released on Tuesday.
