Shares ticked up 0.1% to $421.83, having fluctuated between $413.69 and $428.42 during the day. Rivian dipped 0.2%, while Lucid climbed 2.0%.

  • US Stock Futures Slip as Investors Brace for Jobs Data
    July 1, 2026, 6:51 PM EDT. US stock futures slipped 0.1%, with Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 all lower ahead of Thursday's June jobs report. Tech names, especially chip stocks, saw a weaker session. Comments on inflation from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and stalled US-Iran talks kept sentiment in check. The jobs numbers hit at 8:30 a.m. ET and could steer the Fed's next rate move.
