U.S. stock futures rebounded on Tuesday, recovering from significant technology sector losses on Monday. All major market indices showed gains, except the small-cap index gauge Russell 2000.

Investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision this week, which coincides with the earnings reports of five out of the seven “Magnificent 7” tech giants.

The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.57%, while the two-year yield was at 4.22%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, there is a 99.5% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday.

Cues From The Last Session

U.S. stocks closed mixed Monday, with Nasdaq tumbling 3%. Tech stocks plunged after China’s DeepSeek unveiled an open-source AI model surpassing ChatGPT at lower costs.

AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) beat Q4 earnings and revenue estimates for the fourth quarter. Economic data showed improvement in December, with the Chicago Fed National Activity Index reaching a seven-month high of 0.15 and U.S. building permits increasing 0.7%.

Healthcare, financials, and consumer staples sectors gained, while tech and utilities lagged.

Insights From Analysts

Talking about DeepSeek's impact on markets Jeremy Siegel, senior economist at WisdomTree and former Professor at the University of Pennsylvania said that such events could derail the ‘Magnificent 7' and the tech narrative.

"This could finally signal the shift from growth to value stocks," he added.

On the upcoming FOMC decision on interest rates, he added, "The Fed's cautious stance reinforces stability, while Trump's policies, though unconventional, appear growth-focused in key areas like AI and investment into the U.S."

However, Trump's cryptocurrency policy remains ambiguous, particularly regarding a potential Bitcoin strategic reserve, he said. "Markets are awaiting clarity as this will have significant implications for the crypto space."

Carson Research's Ryan Detrick pointed out in an X post that over the last two weeks, an average of 334.6 stocks a day have advanced. When such average returns were observed during March 2023, the index gained 27% over the next 12 months.
