  "account": "On Wednesday, Wall Street futures dipped as Treasury yields and oil prices surged, leaving investors wary as they awaited the minutes of the Federal Reserve's September meeting. The tech-heavy Nasdaq and benchmark S&P 500 had previously reached all-time highs on Tuesday, buoyed by AI optimism and strong third-quarter earnings expectations. Dow Jones Industrial Average was about 5% below its August 5 record closing high. However, caution prevailed as investors reevaluated interest rates and energy costs. Brent crude rose back above $100-a-barrel due to Middle East supply concerns, while the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds surged to its highest level since 2002. The probability of the Fed holding interest rates steady this month stood at 78%, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool, with a December rate hike still largely expected. Chip stocks declined in premarket trading, with Micron Technology and Marvell Technology falling 2.2% and 1.2%, respectively. SpaceX shares dropped 2.1% following a report that the rockets-to-AI firm was seeking $40 billion in financing for Nvidia chip purchases. Intel rose 1.3% after Bloomberg News reported the company would continue working on Elon Musk's Terafab chipmaking venture. Dow E-minis fell 178 points (0.34%) at 6:02 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 E-minis dropped 11.25 points (0.14%). Nasdaq 100 E-minis lost 129.25 points (0.41%). The third-quarter earnings season began the following week, with analysts forecasting a 30.6% S&P 500 earnings growth, primarily driven by a 114.7% surge in energy earnings and a 66.5% increase in tech results. Despite the 30% earnings growth being smaller than the 54% jump in Q2, investors anticipated a largely positive season to support record-high stock markets. Notably, Constellation Brands declined 4.5% after Corona lowered its annual operating margin forecast.",
