The gradual upward trajectory with price action climbing back above the key 20,000 psychological level, could act as significant support if the upward trend continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nasdaq futures were initially under pressure after mixed earnings last week, with Facebook\u2019s Meta falling 4% and Microsoft sliding 6%, despite strong earnings reports. Traders seemed wary of the impact that AI investments could have on profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Amazon\u2019s surprise 5.3% after-hours rally brought some optimism, adding $104 billion to its market cap after beating profit expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wall Street&#39;s major indexes ended higher, rebounding from the previous day&#39;s sell-off as Amazon&#39;s strong earnings countered a significant drop in US job growth in October <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZNcNrZFAfA\">https:\/\/t.co\/ZNcNrZFAfA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LKZ5lWeQd3\">pic.twitter.com\/LKZ5lWeQd3<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Reuters\/status\/1852502633573138639?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 2, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These swings in major tech names reflect the uncertainty facing the Nasdaq, with volatility expected to remain high ahead of the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>China\u2019s NPC Meeting Adds to Market Tensions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the National People\u2019s Congress (NPC) meeting in China this week could also impact Nasdaq-listed companies with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ujz8giRBfn\">significant exposure<\/a><\/strong> to China. With potential announcements of a massive stimulus package, the meeting will be closely watched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese stocks showed mild gains, with the CSI300 up 0.2%, while the Hang Seng climbed 0.4% on Monday.
