June 27 (Reuters) -U.S. stock index futures slipped on Thursday as a slump inMicron Technology after a lackluster forecast dragged down other semiconductor stocks, whilecaution ahead of economic data and a presidential debate also dented sentiment.
The memory chipmaker's MU.O shares lost 5.8% premarketafter an in-linefourth-quarter revenue forecast disappointed investors hoping for more upside from the company'sperformance in the artificial intelligence boom. Optimism around AI-driven demand had lifted the stock 14% this month ahead of earnings.
"Anything less than fantastic is not good enough when your share price got multiplied by three in just about 18 months," said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank.
Micron weighed on othersemiconductor stocks including AI-trade favorite NvidiaNVDA.O, which fell 1.6%.Arm Holdings ARM.O, Qualcomm QCOM.O and Advanced Micro Devices AMD.O were down between 0.2%and 0.7%.
With a handful of expensive heavily weighted stocks supporting Wall Street's ascent since the last leg of 2023, market participants have highlighted concerns over the rally's sustainability and have called out for the need to diversify portfolios to hedge against possible sharp losses.
Wall Street's three major indexes eked out modest gains in Wednesday's choppy trading, with Amazon.com AMZN.O hitting $2 trillion in market value for the first time. The retail giant's shares edged 0.1% higherin lackluster trading for megacap tech stocks.
Focus now shifts to a slate of economic data including durable goods for May, weekly jobless claims and first-quarter PCE and GDP figures before markets open,ahead of Friday's release of themonthly personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index - the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge.
Investors have largely stuck to their view of around two rate cuts this year, as per LSEG's FedWatch data, even though the U.S. central bank has projected only one.
Chances of an at least 25-basis-point rate cut in September, however, have slipped slightly to56.4% from over 60% earlier in the week.
Further, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are set to face each other in the first debate during the day, ahead of their rematch this November.
