AHMEDABAD, 18 NOVEMBER: Asian markets opened and trading in the red zone leaded by sharp fall in Nikkei amid the weak overnight cues from western peers. U.S. equity index futures are trading with marginal gains, steadying after caution over upcoming earnings from Nvidia and a key labor market print spurred losses during the main session. Broader tech shares also fell amid growing doubts over the long-term prospects of AI, and the potential returns from the hundreds of billions of dollars being invested in the industry.
