Intel’s Weak Earnings Put Futures on Ice After a Choppy Week

U.S. stock futures lost momentum Friday morning as Wall Street tried to steady itself after several days of sharp swings. Dow futures slipped, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures hovered slightly lower, signaling a cautious start to the trading day. The hesitation came largely from Intel’s disappointing earnings report. The chipmaker’s results and weaker outlook weighed heavily on tech sentiment, sending its shares sharply lower in pre‑market trading. Investors had hoped for stronger numbers given the industry’s AI‑driven momentum, but Intel’s update suggested ongoing challenges in key segments like data‑center chips. The broader market has been wrestling with volatility all week, driven by shifting economic expectations and uneven corporate results. With the S&P 500 on track for another weekly decline, traders appear reluctant to make big moves until they see clearer signs of stability.

Tragic Consequences of Conflict: Israeli Strikes in Gaza and Lebanon

 

In a devastating series of events, Israeli airstrikes have resulted in significant loss of life and destruction in both Gaza and Lebanon. On Saturday night, an Israeli strike on the central Gaza Strip tragically killed a family of eight. The victims, who were residing in the Nuseirat refugee camp, included parents and their six children, aged between 8 and 23. The strike also left seven others wounded, with some in critical condition.

Simultaneously, in southern Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes destroyed a century-old market in the city of Nabatiyeh. The Ottoman-era market, which had stood since 1910, was reduced to rubble, resulting in the death of at least one person and injuries to four others. The destruction of this historic site marks a significant cultural loss for the region.

These incidents highlight the ongoing and severe impact of the conflict on civilian populations and infrastructure in the affected areas. The international community continues to call for de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the hostilities.
