US Stock Market Today: Futures Rise After Nasdaq Correction as Oil Keeps Wall Street on Edge

US Stock Market Today: Futures Rise After Nasdaq Correction as Oil Keeps Wall Street on Edge

U.S. stock futures ticked up early Friday, with President Donald Trump’s decision to give a 10-day extension on his deadline for Iranian power plant strikes providing Wall Street with a modest premarket lift. Thursday’s rout had already shoved the Nasdaq into correction territory. Brent crude slipped roughly 0.7% to near $107 a barrel, still elevated enough for traders to remain cautious. Why is this front and center? Crude swings and war news are calling the shots—domestic data isn’t. Reuters flagged that traders have assigned about a 50% probability to a Fed rate hike in September, but now the Bureau of Economic Analysis has delayed the February personal income and outlays report, which includes the PCE price index, to April 9 instead of March 27. So, Friday’s market mood will hinge on oil, fresh comments from Fed’s Thomas Barkin, Anna Paulson, Mary Daly, and any updates out of the Strait of Hormuz.

US Stock Market Today: Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Slide as Oil Tops $105 and Fed Cut Hopes Fade

US Stock Market Today: Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Slide as Oil Tops $105 and Fed Cut Hopes Fade

Stocks slipped through midday Thursday, dragged down by higher oil prices and growing skepticism that the Iran war will wrap up soon. The Nasdaq led the declines, shedding 1.3%. At 12:24 p.m. Eastern, the S&P 500 slid 1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 319 points, or 0.7%. Investors aren’t brushing off the shock anymore. Rising crude prices have brought inflation fears back into focus, sending the 10-year Treasury yield up to roughly 4.38% and erasing hopes for a Fed rate cut this year.

Dow Jones Today: Why the Index Is Slipping as Oil Jumps and Fed Cut Hopes Fade

NEW YORK, March 26, 2026, 1:11 PM EDT By midday Thursday in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had slipped 202.81 points, or 0.45%, to 46,221.54. That move erased a chunk of Wednesday’s rally, with traders wary on mixed messages from the U.S. and Iran over a war-ending proposal. The S&P 500 was off 0.77%, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 1.05%.

Alphabet Stock Price Today: Why GOOGL Lags Nasdaq as Apple Maps Ads and EU Scrutiny Weigh on Google

Alphabet Stock Price Today: Why GOOGL Lags Nasdaq as Apple Maps Ads and EU Scrutiny Weigh on Google

Alphabet’s Class A shares didn’t join in on Wednesday’s tech rally, edging down 0.2% to $289.90 around midday in New York. On Tuesday, the stock finished at $290.44, shedding 3.85%. The Nasdaq, by comparison, climbed more than 1% on Wednesday. It’s not hard to see why this is front and center. Google’s ad and search arms are under renewed scrutiny, while there are early hints that the company’s big bets on artificial intelligence might actually be starting to lift revenue. Then there’s Apple, getting ready to roll out paid ads on Maps in the U.S. and Canada later this summer—a fresh push into local advertising territory. D.A. Davidson’s Gil Luria called the Maps launch an “incremental opportunity” for Apple’s services side.

Can Vanguard’s VTI ETF Really Turn $1,000 Into $1.39 Million? Why the Total Stock Market Fund Is Back in Focus

Can Vanguard’s VTI ETF Really Turn $1,000 Into $1.39 Million? Why the Total Stock Market Fund Is Back in Focus

Vanguard’s Total Stock Market ETF is back in the headlines after fresh weekend takes from Motley Fool and Australia’s The Bull. The pitch hasn’t changed: Both outlets say the low-fee fund still works as a straightforward path to long-term exposure across the entire U.S. market. On Saturday, a Motley Fool article crunched the numbers—if you started with $1,000 and added $200 every month, sticking to VTI’s average returns over the past ten years, you’d be looking at around $1.39 million after 30 years. Timing’s key here: as of Feb. 28, VTI’s ETF share class had $586.3 billion under management and an ultra-low 0.03% expense ratio—making it one of the cheapest ways to get exposure to broad U.S. equities. Monday, late morning in New York, VTI was up $7.35 at $327.69 after Wall Street bounced back on news that President Donald Trump delayed strikes on Iranian power infrastructure.

Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Tumble as Iran Conflict Sends Oil to 2022 High and Erases Fed Cut Hopes

Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Tumble as Iran Conflict Sends Oil to 2022 High and Erases Fed Cut Hopes

Stocks tumbled Friday, with the S&P 500 closing down 1.49% after the Iran turmoil sent oil prices to their highest finish since July 2022, feeding persistent inflation concerns. The Nasdaq slid 1.98%, while the Dow gave up 0.92%, preliminary Reuters figures showed. This shift packs a punch as bond yields climb alongside it. Investors aren’t betting on looser policy anymore; now, the focus has swung to possible rate increases. Fed Governor Christopher Waller revealed he’d been set to support a cut this week, but then the oil shock dialed inflation fears up a notch.

Marvell Technology Stock Rises as Bigger AI Revenue Bet Draws Wall Street Backing

Marvell Technology Stock Rises as Bigger AI Revenue Bet Draws Wall Street Backing

Shares of Marvell Technology ticked about 0.5% higher Tuesday morning, changing hands at $93.11. Buyers kept showing up for the chipmaker, putting faith in its positive AI data-center demand outlook. Why does it matter? Marvell stands out as a test case for whether spending is finally shifting toward ASICs—their specialty chips built for a single job—and the networking gear gluing together AI servers, instead of just Nvidia’s GPUs. The company highlights that Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are on track to invest north of $630 billion in AI infrastructure this year. Broadcom struck a similar upbeat tone last week. Marvell President and COO Chris Koopmans said demand for its interconnect hardware is “still growing massively.”

Meta Stock Week Ahead: Why CPI, EU Pressure and AI Costs Could Drive the Next Move

Meta Stock Week Ahead: Why CPI, EU Pressure and AI Costs Could Drive the Next Move

Meta Platforms closed out last week at $644.86, slipping 2.4% from the previous close. The dip followed news that Meta will open WhatsApp to competing AI chatbots in Europe for a year, a move meant to stave off interim antitrust measures. The EU’s ongoing review remains unresolved, so investors face another regulatory milepost as markets prepare to reopen Monday, March 9. Why is this in focus right now? Meta’s AI spending has ballooned. Back in January, Meta projected capital spending between $115 billion and $135 billion for 2026, with total expenses landing at $162 billion to $169 billion. Fourth-quarter ad revenue jumped 24%. Yet John Belton at Gabelli Funds pointed out that the gains remain rooted in the company’s main business.

Salesforce launches Agentforce Health AI agents to cut healthcare paperwork, adding HealthEx, Verily and Viz.ai

Salesforce launches Agentforce Health AI agents to cut healthcare paperwork, adding HealthEx, Verily and Viz.ai

Salesforce on Thursday introduced six fresh Agentforce Health agents — AI tools built to operate within healthcare workflows — ramping up the company’s push into the sector. The new agents handle tasks from referrals and assessments to EHR read-and-write, claims and coverage processes, rural health, epidemiology, and hospital operations. Salesforce is also tying in integrations with HealthEx, Verily, and Viz.ai. Some templates are up for grabs now; others are scheduled to land in June and later this year. Dr. Paramjit “Romi” Chopra, founder and CEO of MIMIT Health, pegged the return at “459% ROI” with $1.5 million in savings. Salesforce is rolling out a rebrand of its Health Cloud platform, now calling it Agentforce Health. The move fits into the company’s bigger “agentic” AI strategy — not just responding to queries, but actually getting things done. “How do we remove workload, bureaucratic processes?” Salesforce health lead Amit Khanna asked in a conversation with TechTarget. For Salesforce client Chopra, it’s all about pinpointing the biggest time sink: “What’s a process that I waste so much time on?” IDC’s Jennifer Eaton noted that employees are raising the same question more often: “Why can’t I use AI … to save time in my

Amazon’s AWS rolls out Amazon Connect Health — AI agents target clinic calls, notes and codes

Amazon.com Inc’s cloud division on Thursday rolled out Amazon Connect Health, pitching the AI-powered platform as a fix for some of the phone traffic and paperwork bogging down clinics and hospitals. Shares of Amazon added roughly 1% in early U.S. trading. It’s a refrain that keeps coming up: spend less on paperwork, free up hours for patient care. In the U.S., 89% of respondents who either switched providers or stopped altogether pointed to “ease of navigation” headaches, according to an Accenture survey. Complaints ranged from clunky processes and poor interactions at reception to digital tools falling short of expectations.
