Nasdaq 100 futures rise 1.2% as tech rebounds; Brent and WTI slide after OPEC+ output hike
US equity futures rose, led by a tech rebound and renewed confidence in the AI hardware cycle after Foxconn's stronger sales and ahead of Samsung's earnings. In contrast, OPEC+ agreeing to lift August production pushed crude lower, easing energy-driven inflation concerns and supporting risk sentiment. The most direct near-term market effect is pressure on oil benchmarks as supply expectations increase.
