US stock futures saw minimal movement on Tuesday following a positive start to the week on Wall Street. Monday saw gains across major indices, supported by a resurgence in artificial intelligence stocks. Equities faced headwinds last week due to concerns surrounding AI investments, but optimism persists regarding the sector’s earnings potential. The looming threat of a federal government shutdown adds uncertainty as the October 1st funding deadline approaches.

- The Dow is on track to finish September higher, currently up 1.7%.
- US stock futures were little changed on Tuesday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shows a pattern of overall positive movement, despite facing external pressures. The potential government shutdown adds some concern, but the index’s gains this month suggest resilience. The correlation with AI stocks may present both opportunities and vulnerabilities, as the sector’s performance can significantly influence the Dow’s direction.
