FTSE Slips as EasyJet Takeover Twist Fails to Mask Oil-Shock Fears

FTSE Slips as EasyJet Takeover Twist Fails to Mask Oil-Shock Fears

LONDON — UK shares slipped on Monday, with takeover talk around easyJet not enough to offset a fresh rise in oil prices and signs that the Middle East conflict is still feeding into costs across the British economy. The FTSE 100, the index of the largest London-listed companies, was down 0.20% at 10,388.72 on delayed Hargreaves Lansdown data, after touching a day low of 10,372.76. The domestically focused FTSE 250 was also lower around midday, Sharecast data showed.

IBM’s $15 Billion Move Catches Wall Street’s Eye Ahead of the Open

IBM’s $15 Billion Move Catches Wall Street’s Eye Ahead of the Open

IBM shares traded up 12.7% on Friday to close at $297.80, making the stock one of the more straightforward large-cap tech momentum plays going into the U.S. open Monday. That last quote before 5 a.m. in New York put International Business Machines Corp’s value around $283.5 billion. IBM’s quantum push is under a microscope as investors weigh if it can finally put a new growth angle on a business still seen for its mainframes, consulting, and hybrid cloud. The New York Stock Exchange plans to operate normally Monday. June 1 is not a holiday in its 2026 schedule; regular hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.

Ford Stock’s AI Bet Moves Traders Beyond Autos

Ford Stock’s AI Bet Moves Traders Beyond Autos

Ford Motor stock traded at $17.44 ahead of the U.S. open Monday, sitting close to its high from late May after jumping Friday. Investors are still looking at the Dearborn company as more than just another cyclical car maker, with some treating it as a candidate in power infrastructure. At the latest level, Ford’s market cap was around $71 billion. The stock’s move lately is less about F-150s and more about Ford Energy, the automaker’s new unit focused on battery energy storage systems, or BESS. These are big batteries used to store power and send it out when demand jumps or the grid gets stressed.

Salesforce Stock Bounces, Eyes Turn to This Week’s Next Test

Salesforce Stock Bounces, Eyes Turn to This Week’s Next Test

Salesforce stock finished Friday at $191.10, climbing 8.47% for the day and gaining around 6.1% compared to last Friday. This came after a week shortened by Memorial Day, with U.S. markets closed Monday. Shares head into June with stronger action than right after earnings. Salesforce shares bounced after Wall Street saw the quarter as mixed. The company beat forecasts on fiscal Q1 revenue and adjusted earnings, but its Q2 revenue guide of $11.27 billion to $11.35 billion was just shy of the $11.36 billion analysts wanted. That keeps pressure on management to show their AI efforts can drive real growth, not just talk. “The next few quarters will be critical,” Valoir CEO Rebecca Wettemann told Reuters.

Boston Scientific Drops 16%. Next Up: Monday’s Watchman Reaction

Boston Scientific is starting the week trading close to its recent lows after shares dropped 16.4% last week.

The stock ended at $48.31 on May 29, down from $57.78 at the May 22 close, according to historical price data. No regular U.S. equity session has happened since Friday’s close, so timing is in focus.

U.S. markets were shut Monday for Memorial Day, making it a shorter trading week.

Dell Technologies is in focus this week after jumping 32.76% on Friday, closing at $420.91. Shares have now gained 42.59% in the past week, as investors increasingly look at Dell as a big artificial-intelligence infrastructure play and not just a PC stock. Timing is a factor. U.S. equity markets are closed Sunday, after a short week that followed Memorial Day—NYSE says May 25 is the market holiday in 2026. When trading picks up, the focus stays on Dell and whether it keeps the price jump in its AI server business from one session.

AI puts Cisco’s $120 share price on watch this week

Cisco Systems shares are entering June trading near their recent highs. The stock was little changed over the shortened holiday week and missed out on some of the gains from a stronger Nasdaq move. U.S. cash equities stayed closed Sunday, but Nasdaq is scheduled to open for normal trading Monday morning. Cisco is turning into more of an AI-infrastructure play for the market now. The stock’s move up earlier this month wasn’t about routers. It was about switches, optics, and silicon—stuff used in data centers for artificial intelligence workloads.

Shares are up for the week, but they’ve fallen 28.49% since Jan. 1. Investors are looking at the latest quarter and trying to figure out if this is a lasting change or just a relief move for a software name that still faces questions around AI disruption.

  • Wendy's Plans 1,000 New China Locations as U.S. Sales Drop
    July 3, 2026, 11:13 AM EDT. Wendy's Company said it struck a franchise deal to launch as many as 1,000 new restaurants in China over the next ten years, targeting growth outside the U.S. The burger chain faces headwinds at home, with same-restaurant sales down 7.8% in Q1 2026 after soft traffic and weather trouble. International sales climbed 6%, lifted by gains in the Philippines and Mexico. The planned China push fits Wendy's bet on mixing global reach with local menus. McDonald's and Starbucks hold bigger ground in China, but Wendy's sees the move as a way to spread risk and push long-term gains even as the U.S. business stumbles.
