US stock market today: Nasdaq futures rally as CoreWeave earnings lift AI stocks - CNBC TV18

Nasdaq futures advanced after CoreWeave's earnings results lifted sentiment across artificial intelligence-related equities, according to the headline. The transmission runs through risk appetite and sector-specific earnings repricing: a strong print from a company tied to AI infrastructure spending tends to reinforce expectations for capital expenditure by hyperscalers and chipmakers, pulling capital toward high-multiple growth names. The Nasdaq 100 (NDX) is most exposed given its concentration in mega-cap technology and semiconductor constituents, while AI-linked small and mid-cap names typically show larger percentage moves on such news because of thinner liquidity and higher beta. Traders should watch the next session's cash-market follow-through to confirm whether the futures gain holds, and any guidance commentary from CoreWeave's management on backlog and data-center capacity buildout, which will shape how durable the rerating is.

The Nasdaq-100 (NDX) is the US large-cap tech benchmark. NDX is more sensitive to rate decisions than SPX because of longer-duration cash flows, and heavily concentrated in Tech/Comms names — mega-cap earnings season dominates price action.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
