positiveNasdaq-100 Futures Rebound 1.2% on July 4 Holiday as Banks Raise S&P 500 Targets — Citi Sets 8,100, Goldman Sets 8,000
Nasdaq-100 futures rose 1.2% during abbreviated Independence Day holiday trading as Asian markets staged a 2% recovery after heavy semiconductor profit-taking earlier in the week. Citi raised its S&P 500 target to 8,100 and Goldman Sachs to 8,000, with both citing AI infrastructure earnings as the primary growth driver. The recovery comes after a mid-week slide in which the PHLX Semiconductor Index fell 6.7% in a single session following a near-doubling in Q2.
