Nasdaq-100 futures stabilized midday following heavy selling pressure in the prior session, which saw the index drop 2.5% to its lowest closing level since early August. While contracts tested the low end of their two-and-a-half-month range, buying interest in megacap technology leaders provided support, lifting tech futures roughly 0.3% on the day. Market dispersion remained pronounced across U.S. equity index futures, with the Dow and Russell each falling around 1% as investors rotated out of recent outperformers.
