Nasdaq bounce hides thin megacap recovery as US stocks end

Dow hits 52,000 in premarket as U.S. stock futures trade higher

U.S. stock futures ticked higher early Tuesday, but traders didn’t keep up Monday’s big technology rally. The key move was the gap between cash trading and futures: the Nasdaq Composite jumped over 500 points Monday, but as of 5:24 a.m. EDT, Nasdaq 100 futures added just 14.25 points. Exchanges in the U.S. were on track for a regular session. According to the NYSE’s 2026 holiday schedule, the next market closure is July 3 for Independence Day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 306.63 points, or 0.59%, at 52,182.74 Monday. The S&P 500 finished higher by 86.41 points, or 1.18%, to 7,440.43. The Nasdaq Composite gained 522.53 points, or 2.07%, at 25,820.14. Reuters reported Alphabet Inc. jumped 4.8% in its Dow debut.

Applied Materials stock jumps as AMAT rally outruns Wall Street’s average target

Applied Materials shares surge $54 billion, buyback effect now smaller

Applied Materials heads into Tuesday with a buyback issue of its own making. After shares jumped 10.82% Monday, each dollar left in its repurchase plan now has less impact on earnings per share. The chip equipment stock ended at $694.64, gaining $67.80 on the day after reaching an intraday high of $708.99. Around 14.17 million shares changed hands, which is roughly 1.7 times its 65-day average volume. MarketWatch posted an after-hours quote of $704.01 at 7:59 p.m. EDT.

US stocks mixed, Micron AI memory rally can’t lift Nasdaq

Nasdaq slips as AI trade splits chip makers and buyers; SanDisk jumps 22% The Nasdaq Composite ended Thursday down 0.46%, giving up 118.03 points to finish at 25,358.60. The Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a 71.72-point gain, or 0.14%, to close at 51,920.62, while the S&P 500 was flat, down just 0.73 point at 7,357.49. Memory-chip stocks ran higher, but the broader tech index still fell as some companies raised prices for hard-to-find AI parts and others paid up. SanDisk Corp soared 22.0%, Micron Technology Inc climbed 15.7%, and Applied Materials Inc rose 13.4%. Apple Inc lost 6.1%, and Dell Technologies Inc dropped 5.8%. AI supply chain spreads, not index closes, told the story today. Micron reported $22 billion in customer commitments for memory-chip supply. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said those “tight conditions” could last past 2027. Ben Barringer at Quilter Cheviot said “continued tightness support pricing” for players up and down the AI chain.

US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Futures Slide as Oil Shock and Treasury Yields Hit Wall Street

US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Futures Slide as Oil Shock and Treasury Yields Hit Wall Street

U.S. stock futures tumbled ahead of Friday’s opening bell. Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 contracts both slid over 1%, as rising Treasury yields and stronger oil prices threatened Wall Street’s run of records. By 5:38 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were off 330 points, or 0.66%. S&P 500 E-minis shed 1.07%, with Nasdaq 100 E-minis down 1.56%. In premarket moves, Applied Materials fell, airlines were weaker, but Dexcom traded higher. The selloff is biting right where it hurts U.S. stocks most—AI-fueled gains and the belief that rate hikes were finished. The 10-year Treasury yield pushed up to around 4.54%. Brent crude sat close to $109 a barrel, squeezing growth stocks that lean hard on future profits. “The rally may exhausts itself a little bit,” said Tim Graf at State Street Markets.

Applied Materials Gets 140-Acre India Approval as AMAT Earnings and China Risks Loom

Applied Materials Inc. is set to gain 140 acres near the Bengaluru airport, after Karnataka cleared the way for the U.S. chip-equipment giant to expand its research presence in India. The land, part of Bengaluru Signature Business Park, comes with a price tag of roughly ₹780 crore—though final pricing and approvals remain in the works. Investors are watching as the company navigates China export restrictions while betting on AI-led demand. The timing’s important: Applied’s pushing to ramp up R&D just as its customers scramble to make AI chips. The surge traces back to demand for top-tier logic chips, high-bandwidth memory—stacked memory running next to AI processors—and advanced packaging, a technique that packs chips closer together for more speed and lower power consumption.
