Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures leap sparking hopes of a rebound to balance November losses

US stock futures rose Sunday night as investors look for a turnaround heading into the shortened Thanksgiving trading week, following a pullback that has cooled this year’s AI-driven market rally.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) added roughly 200 points or 0.4%, while S&P 500 futures (ES=F) advanced 0.6%. Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ=F) climbed 0.9%. US markets will be closed Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday and will shut early at 1 p.m. ET on Friday.

The move comes as equities attempt to extend Friday’s rebound, sparked after Federal Reserve Bank of New York president John Williams suggested that a December rate cut remains a possibility. Even so, major indexes have suffered notable losses in November as investors reassess lofty valuations across AI-aligned stocks.

The S&P 500 dropped 2% last week, widening its month-to-date decline to 3.5%. The Nasdaq Composite slid 2.7% and is now down 6.1% in November. The Dow fell 1.9% over the week and is off 2.8% for the month.
