Equities closed lower and futures extended declines as megacap tech earnings highlighted AI capex concerns (notably Alphabet) and weaker results (Tesla, IBM), pressuring Nasdaq-linked risk assets. Higher energy prices and elevated uncertainty can tighten financial conditions and weigh on broader risk sentiment near term.
