NASDAQ:ALAB.O 3 January 2026 - 2 February 2026

July 4, 2026, 10:52 AM EDT. S&P 500 closed flat, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 1.14% and reaching a record. The Nasdaq 100 slid 1.61% as chipmakers fell for a second straight session, weighed by doubts about AI momentum and a selloff in South Korea's Kospi, where SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics dropped. US June payrolls came in softer than forecast at 57,000, while the unemployment rate fell to a one-year low at 4.2%, fueling bets on a Fed rate pause. Factory orders showed smaller losses and good gains outside transport. Q2 earnings outlooks stay strong, helped by AI-linked infrastructure stocks. WTI crude dropped to its lowest in over four months as supply climbed.
