Nasdaq 100 futures fall 1.5%

The signal here is the widening, not the level: futures extending a decline into the pre-market points to momentum selling rather than a single headline shock, and the absence of an identified catalyst leaves the move vulnerable to being read as sentiment-driven. Tech-heavy exposure sits at the center of it, though the item gives no sector or asset-level detail, so the read-through to adjacent risk assets such as crypto remains inferred rather than confirmed. Whether the drop stabilizes before the cash open, or the missing catalyst surfaces afterward, is the open question.
