Amazon Earnings Miss Deepens Tech Sell-Off; S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Futures Drop on February 6
U.S. stock futures fell on February 6 as Amazon (AMZN) posted earnings that missed estimates, deepening the tech rout and拖累 broader indices. S&P 500 futures (ES=F) declined 0.7%, Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ=F) 1.2%, and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) 0.4%. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) are now negative for 2026. Amazon shares tumbled over 10% in after-hours trading following a $200 billion capital expenditure forecast and a miss on EPS, heightening concerns about AI spending. Risk-off sentiment extended to commodities: Bitcoin (BTC-USD) continued its decline and silver (SI=F) retraced gains after a retail-driven rally. Strategy (MSTR) shares fell on bitcoin’s sell-off, while Reddit (RDDT) and Roblox (RBLX) rose on better-than-expected earnings and buyback plans. Looking ahead, Toyota (TM) and Philip Morris (PM) are scheduled to report earnings before the open. The nonfarm payrolls report, moved to Wednesday, February 13, shows weakness: job openings hit their lowest level since 2020 and layoff announcements surged.
