Nasdaq Stumbles as Fed Jitters Mount, Intel Soars, Tariffs Rattle Tech Markets

Wall Street’s momentum faltered in the latter half of this week, with the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq-100 both posting their third straight daily loss on Thursday. The Nasdaq Composite closed at 22,384.70, and the S&P 500 and Dow Jones also fell around 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively reuters.com. These declines marked a sharp reversal from Monday, when all three indices notched record-high closes investopedia.com after a months-long tech-driven rally. Traders say the pullback partly reflects investors locking in profits on big tech names that had run up dramatically through the summer. The CBOE Volatility Index – Wall Street’s “fear gauge” – remains relatively low, but market breadth turned negative as decliners outnumbered gainers by about 3-to-1 on the Nasdaq exchange reuters.com, indicating more stocks are participating in the downdraft.

Tech’s Big Week: TikTok’s $14B Sale Twist, Nvidia’s $100B AI Bet & 6G on the Horizon

Artificial intelligence dominated tech headlines this week, as industry leaders forged unprecedented deals to secure their edge. Nvidia’s blockbuster commitment to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI made waves across Silicon Valley reuters.com. Under the proposed arrangement, Nvidia will pour cash into OpenAI in exchange for OpenAI purchasing Nvidia’s cutting-edge GPUs for its AI data centers reuters.com reuters.com. Essentially, OpenAI gets the state-of-the-art chips it desperately needs to train advanced AI models, and Nvidia gains a stake in AI’s hottest startup. “Everything starts with compute,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman remarked, emphasizing that massive computing power is the foundation of modern AI breakthroughs reuters.com. The partnership would deploy an astounding 10 gigawatts of Nvidia GPU systems for OpenAI in coming years – roughly the electricity used by 8 million U.S. homes reuters.com. Analysts lauded the deal’s strategic logic for both sides, but also noted concerns that Nvidia is essentially funding a customer to buy its own products, a “circular” setup that could draw regulatory scrutiny reuters.com if it stifles competition. Nonetheless, Nvidia’s shares hit record highs on the announcement, valuing the company at over $1 trillion, as investors bet this tie-up will further cement Nvidia’s dominance in the AI chip

Apple’s 2025 Resurgence: iPhone 17 Supercycle Sparks AAPL Stock Surge to Record Highs

Apple’s 2025 Resurgence: iPhone 17 Supercycle Sparks AAPL Stock Surge to Record Highs

Apple’s stock performance in 2025 has been a tale of two halves. The year began on uncertain footing for the world’s most valuable company. Through the first half, AAPL lagged its Big Tech peers, with its share price sliding amid concerns about flagging iPhone demand and a lack of AI catalysts. By late July, Apple stock was down 17% year-to-date investopedia.com – a sharp contrast to the broader NASDAQ’s rally and the eye-popping gains of AI-centric names like NVIDIA. In fact, Apple was the laggard of 2025’s “Magnificent Seven” tech giants, according to Wedbush’s Dan Ives tipranks.com. Investors fretted that Apple’s growth had stalled after a few years of only modest hardware upgrades and slowing revenue. Wall Street was also waiting for Apple’s response to the AI frenzy that lifted other tech stocks – a narrative Apple had yet to fully capitalize on.

Hot GDP Surprise Shatters Wall Street’s Rally – Stocks Slide on Fed Jitters (Sept 25, 2025)

Wall Street’s September rally hit a wall on Thursday as all three major indexes extended their slide. The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average each fell roughly half a percent, marking the third straight day of losses investopedia.com. This losing streak interrupted what had been a strong run: through Monday, the indices had climbed to record highs before momentum shifted mid-week investopedia.com. Traders used the recent high valuations as an excuse to take profits. “With the S&P pricing in 23–24 times expected earnings and ~15% annualized earnings growth over the next five years, that sounds pretty rich to me,” noted one chief investment officer, reflecting on stretched stock valuations reuters.com. Indeed, earlier in the week Fed Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that equity prices appeared high, evoking former Chair Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” warning reuters.com reuters.com. Those valuation concerns, combined with fresh economic news, triggered a broad risk-off tone on Sept. 25.

Nasdaq’s Wild 48 Hours: Fed Jitters, Tech Tumbles & Surprise Rallies – Sept 23–24 Roundup

Nasdaq’s Wild 48 Hours: Fed Jitters, Tech Tumbles & Surprise Rallies – Sept 23–24 Roundup

Wall Street’s bull run hit turbulence on Tuesday, Sept. 23, after Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a balanced but cautious tone in his remarks. Speaking six days after the Fed’s first rate cut of 2025, Powell emphasized the “no risk-free path”forward – the central bank must tame inflation without unduly harming the now-weakening job market. Notably, he warned that equity valuations appeared “fairly highly valued,” a signal that the recent surge in stocks may have outpaced fundamentals. This lack of a clear green light on further rate relief rattled investors who had been banking on more easy money. Powell “left the door open for another rate cut” but gave “really no hint of when and how much” it might be, explained Peter Cardillo of Spartan Capital. That ambiguity “began to sell off” the overheated market, which was “ripe for some sort of a pullback,” Cardillo noted.

OnePlus 15 Leak Bombshell: Radical Design, Monster Battery & Next-Gen Power

OnePlus 15 Leak Bombshell: Radical Design, Monster Battery & Next-Gen Power

The OnePlus 15 is generating buzz for its radical design departure from previous models. Leaked images circulating on Chinese social media show a completely new camera layout: a square-edged camera module on the back with rounded corners, instead of the round camera hump OnePlus has used for the last few generations indiatoday.in phonearena.com. Within this module, there’s a pill-shaped cutout vertically housing two large camera lenses, and next to it are two smaller circular cut-outs – believed to be the third camera lens and the LED flash indiatoday.in. In essence, the OnePlus 15’s camera island layout is unlike the OnePlus 13’s circular tri-lens design; in fact, it more closely resembles the style of Google’s Pixel or Apple’s latest iPhones than OnePlus’s own past flagships androidcentral.com. As one tech editor put it, the new placement “messes with [the] OnePlus’ unique look, making it look a lot like a Pixel or even the iPhone 16 Pro” androidcentral.com.
