US equity futures fell on Tuesday following a long weekend as markets continued to assess how the disruption of AI will impact the corporate sector. Contracts attached to the Nasdaq 100 fell 0.7%, while those for the S&P 500 and the Dow were 0.3% lower. Companies that sell software as a service remained under the spotlight on concerns that improvement in AI automation tools may displace demand for the sector. Salesforce, Intuit, and ServiceNow were lower pre-market to extend their pullback for the month. Hardware companies that have benefited by the influx of datacenter capital expenditure also remained volatile on skepticism that spending will translate to the returns that were expected. Meanwhile, Warner Bros was over 2% higher as it reopened deal talks with Paramount on a stronger bid by the latter. Companies in other sectors were mixed as the tame inflation print from Friday continued to indicate that the Federal Reserve is likely to deliver multiple rate cuts this year.
