Futures Steady as Tech Selloff Eases; Amazon Drops on AI Spending Surge

U.S. stock futures held steady in early premarket trading after a sharp tech-led decline earlier in the week, giving investors a moment to reassess the sector’s rapid pullback. Major index futures hovered near flat, suggesting a more measured tone after days of volatility. While sentiment remains cautious, some traders appear to be stepping back in following the recent selloff in high‑growth names. Amazon shares slipped in premarket action after the company signaled a significant increase in capital expenditures tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure. The planned investment highlights Amazon’s push to expand its AI capabilities, but the scale of spending raised concerns about near‑term pressure on margins. Market attention now turns to upcoming economic data and corporate earnings, which could help determine whether tech stocks regain momentum or continue to face headwinds. For the moment, futures point to a steadier start as investors look for the next catalyst.

Super Blue Moon: A Celestial Spectacle

 

Tonight, stargazers around the world will witness a rare celestial event: the Super Blue Moon. Here’s are some brief details about this fascinating occurrence:

What Is a Super Blue Moon?

A supermoon is an infrequent phenomenon when the Moon appears larger and brighter than usual due to its proximity to Earth. Tonight, we’re treated to an even rarer event—a super blue moon. Here’s why it’s so special:

  1. Supermoon: The Moon’s elliptical orbit brings it closer to Earth, making it appear larger in the sky.

  2. Blue Moon: A blue moon occurs when there are four full moons in a season instead of the usual three. The third full moon in such a season is designated as a blue moon.

Why “Once in a Blue Moon”?

The phrase “once in a blue moon” originates from this rare occurrence. Tonight’s moon is both super and blue, making it a unique sight for skywatchers.

Viewing Tips

  • Time: The super blue moon will rise shortly after 7 p.m. EDT and reach its peak at 9:36 p.m. EDT. Check exact times for your region using the U.S. Navy moonrise calendar.

  • Appearance: Enjoy the moon’s full brilliance through Friday morning.

Remember to step outside and marvel at this cosmic spectacle!
