Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 45 points, or about 0.1%. S&P 500 futures gained 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures added 0.1%.

Major averages fell during the regular session as concerns resurfaced over disruptions that artificial intelligence could cause across various sectors. U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to raise global tariffs to 15%, along with tensions between the U.S. and Iran, also unsettled investors.

The 30-stock Dow closed down about 822 points, or roughly 1.7%, largely driven by an approximately 13% decline in IBM shares. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1.1%, while the S&P 500 lost about 1% and slipped into negative territory for the year.

Software stocks such as Microsoft and CrowdStrike, along with cybersecurity names and several financial sector stocks, were among the notable losers throughout the session.

On Tuesday, investors are awaiting consumer confidence data and Home Depot’s earnings. They are also preparing for key earnings results to be released later this week from Nvidia and software companies Salesforce and Snowflake. These results could move the market amid the current downturn in the technology sector.
