At 4:30 a.m. ET, Nasdaq futures declined 0.3%, S&P 500 futures hovered near flat with a negative bias, while Dow and Russell 2000 futures added 0.1%. In premarket action, PayPal plummeted over 14% after reports revealed that an Advent International and Stripe consortium abandoned takeover discussions due to valuation disputes. Marvell Technology sank 8% on gross margin compression concerns despite a raised outlook. Conversely, Affirm Holdings surged 12% following solid quarterly results and an improved forward forecast. Investors also monitored macroeconomic data, including July PCE inflation at 3.7% year-over-year, alongside corporate developments across the technology and payments sectors.

상승 영향

DYAX 전담 분석
Following Nvidia's earnings release, short-term profit-taking and news of the suspension of the GPU revenue-sharing model due to antitrust concerns are exerting downward pressure on technology stocks overall. In particular, PayPal plunged over 14% in pre-market trading due to a failed acquisition over valuation differences, dampening sentiment in the fintech sector.
If the Fed's tightening stance is reaffirmed at the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium, increased volatility centered on growth stocks is expected, and PCE inflation figures and Fed officials' remarks must be closely monitored before the September FOMC. Investors should consider conservative portfolio adjustments while watching the correlation between individual companies' earnings momentum and macroeconomic indicators.
