Stocks go into the last full week of June with AI leaders still leading, but there’s less margin for error now as investors look ahead to an important inflation print and Micron Technology’s results. Last week was shortened by the Juneteenth holiday—NYSE closed on Friday, June 19. Thursday’s session was the last cash close.

U.S. stock trading was paused Friday for Juneteenth, leaving Wall Street to sit with a chip-led rebound that steadied the market after a midweek Federal Reserve jolt.

Kroger shares looked ready to start down Thursday. The grocer stuck to its full-year view and posted an adjusted profit that missed by a small margin. That took the shine off quarterly sales, which came in ahead as shoppers continue to look for cheaper food.
CarMax shares traded higher ahead of the bell Wednesday after the top U.S. used-car seller topped revenue forecasts, pushing new CEO Keith Barr into focus. Retail margins shrank though. Reuters said the stock was up more than 5% in premarket, but later KMX was at $52.11, near Tuesday’s close.
La-Z-Boy Incorporated shares jumped nearly 17% in late trading on Tuesday after the furniture maker reported fourth-quarter profit well ahead of Wall Street forecasts, reversing a sharp fall during the regular session.
Micron Technology shares slid Tuesday after hitting a record high, as traders cashed in gains from the stock’s recent AI-fueled run. Shares were last at $1,048.87, off $39.12 from the previous close. The stock opened at $1,100 and moved between $1,020.20 and $1,133.00. This follows Monday’s rally, when Micron closed at a record $1,087.99 after buyers pushed memory-chip stocks higher on hopes for more AI data-center demand.
Netflix shares fell Tuesday as investors weighed fresh M&A speculation against the company’s next earnings catalyst. The stock was down about 2.7% at $79.48, compared with a 1.5% drop in the Invesco QQQ Trust, a widely used exchange-traded fund that tracks the Nasdaq-100 growth-stock basket. The move came after The Fly, citing Semafor, reported that Netflix lost a bid for Roku to Fox and is among media companies interested in Lionsgate Studios, though no formal indication of interest has been made.
AT&T Inc. shares fell Monday as the stock lagged the broader market. Investors moved out of telecoms like AT&T and into tech names before the Federal Reserve’s latest rate decision. AT&T lost 29 cents, or 1.23%, closing at $23.29, with a $23.31 indication for early Tuesday, according to Google Finance. Verizon shares dropped 2.16%.

Shares started at €13.36, traded as high as €13.38, then fell to €12.26 before closing down. MarketScreener puts its three-month gain at 74%. Fast moves like that tend to bring out some profit-taking ahead of upcoming results.
Ford Motor fell Monday, lagging the broader market while major indexes climbed. Shares last traded at $14.77, down from an earlier high of $15.475. GM picked up about 3.2%, and Tesla rose 1.2%.

SoFi Technologies, Inc. climbed Monday, with growth and fintech stocks finding support. SOFI last changed hands at $17.14, up $0.555 from its Friday close at $16.58. The shares moved between $17.02 and $17.43 during the session. Market cap hovered near $23.6 billion. The P/E remained about 38, giving SOFI limited room for error if growth falls off.
July 9, 2026, 1:06 AM EDT. Indian shares snapped back on Thursday. The Sensex shot up 516 points to 77,019 and the Nifty topped 24,000, shrugging off worries from the latest US-Iran flare-up. Stocks had tumbled Wednesday after US military action in Iran and comments from President Trump raised fears of more conflict. Traders jumped in on the drop, seeing value. Crude held steady near $79 a barrel, which traders say stays manageable for Indian importers unless the Strait of Hormuz gets blocked. Foreign funds added almost Rs 4,000 crore to equities over four days, mainly in large cap, financial and auto shares. Broader markets also caught a bid-both smallcap and midcap stocks finished higher as buying spread out, even with big geopolitical risks still in play.
