US stock futures suggest a potential rebound as traders anticipate Nvidia's earnings and the Jackson Hole Symposium. Last week, stocks closed lower due to fears of aggressive interest rate hikes. The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Industrials all recorded losses. Analyst Quincy Crosby suggests that the market may wait for Jerome Powell's comments at the Jackson Hole conference before reentering. China's financial issues could also trigger a slide in financial markets, leading to increased investment in the US Treasury. In premarket trading, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and the Invesco QQQ ETF both saw gains. Stocks in focus include Palo Alto Networks, Tesla, Nvidia, and Nordson Corp.
