US equity futures rose 0.3% on Friday, with contracts tracking the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq 100 pausing the market’s weekly losses as investors assessed risks from higher energy prices and bond yields. Long-dated Treasury yields were near levels recorded before the department announced its higher buyback, while the dollar extended its plunge. The moves highlighted concern about high inflation and uncontrolled deficit spending amid a period of record corporate debt issuance. Chipmakers and AI hyperscalers (large-scale artificial intelligence operators) were muted before the opening bell after sharp weekly declines. Intel, AMD and Seagate were each set to finish the week down about 10%, while Meta and Broadcom were headed for losses of 7%. Walmart was down 10% for the week following a rare earnings miss released Thursday, which weakened the company’s outlook and sent a pessimistic signal about the US consumer.
