AMD’s Quiet Marvell Stake Puts AI Chip Investors on Alert

Marvell Technology surged close to 10% by late morning in New York after a regulatory filing revealed Advanced Micro Devices owned 65,516 shares in the chipmaker at the end of March. It’s a relatively modest stake, but the disclosure grabbed attention given Marvell’s AI data-center hardware profile. According to the filing, the holding was worth $6.49 million at the time.

  • Natural Gas Slips as US Output Rises and LNG Exports Slow
    July 14, 2026, 8:06 AM EDT. August Nymex natural gas futures lost 1.46%, sliding to a two-month low. Prices felt pressure from higher US supply and fewer LNG exports. Permian Basin output climbed over 23 billion cubic feet per day, the most in two months. LNG exports edged down to 17.5 bcf, a one-month low. Even with hotter weather forecasts hinting at higher US demand, gains in production and weaker export numbers kept a lid on prices. The EIA lifted its 2026 US gas output outlook, pointing to ongoing supply growth. Recent trouble at Qatar's LNG facilities trims its export capacity, which could support prices globally in the medium term. US inventories came in as expected, suggesting supplies remain comfortable. The market is weighing stronger domestic demand against ample US output and global supply snags.
