(Reuters) - Nasdaq futures climbed on Tuesday as Nvidia and other AI-linked stocks firmed after a bruising selloff, while investors awaited further cues on the monetary policy path based on remarks by U.S. Federal Reserve officials this week.

AI chip firm Nvidia advanced 2.1% premarket. Chip stocks Micron Technology, Broadcom and Qualcomm also recovered some lost ground, and were up more than 1% each, while AI-optimized server maker Super Micro Computer rose 2%.

"There has certainly been strong speculation in Nvidia's exponential surge since the beginning of last year ... strong rallies were often followed by sharp selloffs," Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, said.

"It's too early to call the end of the Nvidia mania but given the high amount of speculation around the stock, we shall see the price action getting worse before it gets better."

The tech-heavy Nasdaq logged its steepest one-day fall, of more than 1%, since late April as investors pulled out of AI stocks and moved to other sectors, causing the blue-chip Dow to hit a one-month high on Monday.

At the start of the week, investors bought into sectors including utilities, consumer staples and energy that have underperformed tech and tech-adjacent stocks this year on continued AI optimism.
