Nasdaq, S&P 500 Futures Dip After Megacap Tech Selloff

Futures for the Nasdaq and S&P 500 edged lower in pre-market trading on Tuesday, extending losses from a sharp selloff in megacap technology stocks the previous session. The decline comes as investors brace for a series of key economic data releases.
Details
Tuesday's catalysts include flash Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data for June, the Richmond Fed manufacturing index, weekly ADP employment figures, and auctions of Treasury bills and 2-year notes. Additionally, May money supply data is due.
Context
The Monday selloff was triggered by strong economic data that reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates higher for longer. Megacap tech stocks, including Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Alphabet (GOOGL), were among the hardest hit.
What It Means for Investors
Investors are closely watching the PMI and employment data for signs of economic strength or weakness. Any surprises could fuel further volatility. Tech stocks are likely to remain under pressure until the interest rate outlook becomes clearer.
