Stocks futures today slip modestly as traders reassess

Stocks futures today slip modestly as traders reassess valuations in AI-focused firms. Despite short-term profit-taking, options market signals imply institutional confidence in the sector’s growth. Crude oil futures were trading lower in the early New York session by 0.22% to hover around $62.23 per barrel. Stock markets are due a "drawdown" in the next year or two after years of being propelled to record highs by an AI frenzy, according to Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon.
