U.S. benchmark WTI fell 3.23% to $84.88, as markets started to consider the odds of a U.S.-Iran deal.

Intel Corp. shares outperformed the broader market on Friday, closing at $124.57, up 6.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.3% and the S&P 500 gained 0.5%.

Friday’s move hasn’t changed the broader slide.

NuScale Power Corporation’s SMR shares bounced Friday, recently trading at $10.00, up 4.5% from the prior close, with a market value of about $3.19 billion. The rebound matters because the stock has been trying to stabilize after a sharp 2026 selloff: a Zacks report syndicated by TradingView said Thursday that NuScale had fallen 23% over the past month and 34.5% year to date, reflecting investor concern over timing, dilution and limited current revenue.

The move matters because POET has become a highly volatile Nasdaq-listed AI photonics name: buyers are betting that its optical-engine technology can move from development-stage promise to commercial scale, while sellers remain focused on lawsuits, order risk and dilution.
Amazon Shares Slip After $17.5 Billion AI Loan Draws Focus to AMZN Cash Flow

Amazon Shares Slip After $17.5 Billion AI Loan, Cash Flow Pressure Before Prime Day

Amazon.com, Inc. shares fell Friday, last trading at $237.66, off $3.85, or 1.6%. The stock moved between $233.70 and $245.20 during the session, with volume topping 20 million. The drop was notable since both the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and Invesco QQQ Trust traded up, putting more attention on Amazon-specific issues than broader market moves. Stocks are usually up when investors see better earnings or less risk ahead, and head lower when there are doubts about cash flow, margins or price.
