German DAX futures are currently down 0.6%, while UK FTSE futures have fallen by 0.4%. This downward trend reflects a similar negative sentiment seen in US futures, as well as continuing the sluggish tone from Asia.

In Asia, the Nikkei closed 1.6% lower. In the US, S&P 500 futures are down 0.6% for the day, with Nasdaq futures declining by 0.8%, primarily due to weakness in technology shares.

Concerns about a potential AI bubble continue to weigh on investor sentiment, keeping market participants cautious as they approach the typically quiet period between Christmas and the end of the year.
