US stock index futures close mixed Wednesday: Dow futures -1.18%, Nasdaq 100 +0.07%

The split between Nasdaq 100 futures holding a marginal gain and the Dow's steeper decline points to a rotation rather than broad risk aversion, with large-cap technology acting as the relative safe haven while the other major benchmarks slipped. The Russell 2000's fall suggests the weakness was not confined to mega-cap names, which matters for anyone tracking whether small-cap participation is fading. Whether this divergence persists into the next session, or the tech bid proves temporary, is the open question.
