Overall Pre-Market Overview As of 08:37 ET on April 29, the three major index futures showed narrow divergence: the Dow Jones fell 0.02% to 49,132 points, the S&P 500 fell 0.06% to 7,165 points, and the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.16% to 27,421 points. Overnight, the AI sector collectively corrected due to OpenAI's growth falling short of expectations, with capital shifting from high-valuation AI applications to energy, memory chips, and defensive consumer stocks. Volatility rose to 21.5, and the long-short battle entered a critical juncture. II. Leading Sectors and Hot Stocks The energy sector led gains, with the US-Iran negotiation deadlock and disruptions to Hormuz Strait shipping pushing up oil prices. WTI rose 3.55% to $103.48/barrel, and Brent rose 3.09% to $107.63/barrel. ETFs: USO rose 3.21% to $144.76 (most elastic), XLE rose 2.08% to $58.40 (best liquidity). Individual stocks: XOM rose 1.87% to $153.57 (high upstream profitability), OXY rose 2.24% to $69.99 (Buffett increased holdings), CVX rose 1.76% to $189.40 (dividend yield 3.2%). Small & mid-caps: USEG rose 3.68% to $12.91 (production exceeded expectations), KOS rose 3.19% to $8.97 (asset revaluation), CLYM rose 2.57% to $5.41 (cost advantage). Memory chips bucked the trend and strengthened, with Seagate's earnings report far exceeding expectations, rising 17.2% after hours. Pre-market, STX rose 16.7% to $130.21, WDC rose 8.1% to $97.05, MU rose 3.2% to $112.63. AI leaders diverged: NVDA fell 0.38% to $212.92, AMD fell 0.79% to $164.35. III. Fund Flows Futu real-time data: Over the past 24 hours, net inflows into energy were $1.49 billion, memory chips $1.12 billion, and utilities $540 million; net outflows from AI software were $1.32 billion, semiconductor equipment $790 million, and cloud computing $580 million. Hot money list: Top three inflows: STX, USO, XLE; Top three outflows: NVDA, ORCL, ARM. IV. Key Events and Trading Strategy Today is "Super Thursday," with Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta releasing earnings reports after the close, with core focus on AI capital expenditure and cloud growth rates. The Fed decision early tomorrow, CME shows a 100% probability of holding rates, with a 20% probability of a rate cut in December. Strategy: S&P 500 support level 7130-7150 points, resistance level 7190-7210 points; for energy, focus on XLE, XOM, hedge risk with USO; position in Seagate and Western Digital for memory; wait for earnings verification before entering AI. V. Market Risks: Earnings reports from the four tech giants falling short of expectations; the Fed being more hawkish than expected; escalation of US-Iran conflict pushing oil prices above $110; OpenAI's growth woes dragging down the AI industry chain." datetime: "2026-04-29T13:21:21.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/40286022.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/40286022.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/40286022.md) author: "[爱U资本](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/22499391.md)" --- # US Stock Pre-Market Update for April 29, 2026 I.
