Micron, Qualcomm move up while Apple, Nvidia slide in mixed AI trade

U.S. cash markets traded Thursday during normal hours on the New York Stock Exchange, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. It wasn’t just AI stocks bouncing.

With Qualcomm included, the gain was near $247 billion. Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet and Oracle had shed around $417 billion using the same method.

Ford’s J.D. Power result brings $17 billion warranty bill into view

Ford Motor is giving investors an uncommon look at how its focus on quality is going. The automaker’s new-vehicle quality score improved by 41 problems per 100 vehicles. That compares to a 17-point improvement for the industry. Ford’s gain is about 2.4 times faster than the industry average. The question is if that will turn up as lower warranty costs. U.S. auto quality improved, with the industry’s problem score dropping to 175 per 100 vehicles compared to 192 last year, according to J.D. Power’s 2026 U.S. Initial Quality Study. Ford led mass-market brands with 152 problems, followed by Nissan and Buick. Porsche came in first overall at 138.

Trump Eyes $17.5 Billion Nuclear Push as AI Energy Demand Jumps

Trump Eyes $17.5 Billion Nuclear Push as AI Energy Demand Jumps

U.S. to Offer $17.5 Billion in Loans for Nuclear Reactors, Energy Dept. Says The Trump administration said Tuesday it's putting up $17.5 billion in conditional loans to boost orders for 10 big nuclear reactors, aiming to revive U.S. nuclear construction as AI and data centers add pressure to the power grid. The Energy Department said the funding would back up to five projects, each using two Westinghouse AP1000 reactors. U.S. power demand is picking up now after a long stretch of flat growth, driven in part by data centers running cloud and AI. These big facilities are among the top new pressures on regional grids. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told reporters that loans got strong interest from data-center “hyperscalers”, as well as utilities and energy firms.
Nasdaq Drops After Hours as AI Stocks and Chip Names Fall

Nasdaq Drops After Hours as AI Stocks and Chip Names Fall

US stocks fell on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both closing at their lowest in more than a week after chip stocks tumbled. The moves ended the relative calm that followed last week’s Middle East de-escalation. According to MarketWatch, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.00%, the S&P 500 lost 1.31%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.04%. Chips are now where the pressure sits for the market. Investors have leaned on artificial-intelligence stocks for most of this year’s gains, so when those names get repriced, indexes react quickly. That’s even more the case as some traders bet on more Fed rate hikes.
Dow Edges Past Tech Rout After Trading Ends

Dow Edges Past Tech Rout After Trading Ends

Dow ends near flat line Tuesday, holding up better than the wider market as losses in chip names and big tech pressured the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Early close numbers show the Dow off 0.08% at 51,670.82. The S&P 500 dropped 1.42% to 7,366.87, and the Nasdaq Composite slid 2.04% to 25,632.46. The gap is relevant now because the Dow isn’t set up like the Nasdaq. S&P Dow Jones Indices calls the Dow a price-weighted index of 30 U.S. blue-chips, so stocks with higher prices sway the index more than those with lower prices, no matter the company’s market cap.

Nasdaq Futures Drop Ahead of Open as Debt Concerns Hit AI Stocks

Nasdaq Futures Drop Ahead of Open as Debt Concerns Hit AI Stocks

Tech names weighed on Wall Street futures early Tuesday as contracts pointed lower before the open. Investors pulled back from artificial intelligence trades while worries about a hawkish Fed path added pressure. Futures trade ahead of the main session and offer a view on where indexes may open. The shift is important since this year’s stock gains have mostly come from pricey AI stocks. With rates up, future profits get discounted harder, and borrowing costs rise for companies paying for data centers, chips and infrastructure with debt.
OpenAI pushes $100 billion ChatGPT ad push into key spot in IPO pitch

OpenAI pushes $100 billion ChatGPT ad push into key spot in IPO pitch

OpenAI plans to roll out ChatGPT ads in Brazil and Mexico in the coming weeks, with India next, the company said.

The move is part of OpenAI’s pitch to investors ahead of a possible U.S. market listing. OpenAI moved ahead two weeks after it filed a confidential draft S-1 for an IPO, its first step toward a public stock sale. The company hasn’t set a timeline. OpenAI said it may be able to finish some tasks more easily as a private firm.

Dow Jones (.DJI) Gains as Alphabet Drags on Nasdaq

Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up on Monday, outperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq as traders moved into industrials and banks and took profits in Alphabet and other big tech stocks. The Dow added 145.10 points to end at 51,709.80 after the closing bell. It was the index's first full day of trading since the Juneteenth market holiday on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average works unlike the Nasdaq. The Dow has 30 stocks and is price-weighted—stocks with higher prices swing it more, even if they’re smaller companies. That design let the Dow hold up better than tech this week.
