Tech bounces back, but key earnings loom

from Squawk Box Europe Express

Tech stocks rebound on Wall Street as investors rush back into semiconductors and megacaps. But that resilience faces an immediate gut check with heavyweight earnings from Meta, Tesla, SpaceX, and Netflix ahead. Meanwhile, Asian markets buck the trend as heavy selling pressure hits AI and tech shares - pushing South Korea's Kospi into a bear market, while data center provider Elice craters on its trading debut. In Europe, geopolitical and economic anxiety is mounting. France imposes curfews and restricts public gatherings in major cities amid severe civil unrest. Wary investors seek safety, driving the French-German 10-year bond spread to nearly 150 basis points. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war are intensifying. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is slated to meet U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for peace talks in Norway today - while President Trump signals an openness to holding direct talks with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to negotiate an end to the war.
