Dow slips in New York after jobs data boosts rate-hike talk

Dow Gains as Chip Stocks Climb, Oil Drops; Fed Rate Concerns Linger

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained Thursday after oil prices fell and chip stocks jumped, but the blue-chip index lagged behind the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Investors remained cautious on the Federal Reserve’s hawkish tone. This move lands in the final full U.S. equity session before Juneteenth shuts trading Friday, with traders trying to price in sliding energy prices on a U.S.-Iran interim deal and a Fed that hasn’t ruled out higher borrowing costs. The New York Stock Exchange sets its core trading session from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, and lists Juneteenth National Independence Day as a Friday, June 19 market holiday in 2026.

Intel shares move higher as Trump says Apple picking Intel for U.S. chips

Intel shares move higher as Trump says Apple picking Intel for U.S. chips

Intel is up sharply in U.S. premarket hours Thursday after President Donald Trump said Apple will partner with the chipmaker to design and produce chips in the U.S. Trump’s comments could give a lift to Intel’s contract manufacturing push. Dow Jones said the stock added over 7%, trading at $129.84 before the bell, which would be a record close if it holds. Apple could give Intel’s foundry business its biggest outside win yet. The chipmaker has trailed Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in advanced manufacturing, and Apple depends on TSMC for the chips in its devices.

Dow Futures Edge Up as Oil Drops, Traders Watch Fed Rate Moves

Dow Futures Edge Up as Oil Drops, Traders Watch Fed Rate Moves

Dow futures bounced early Thursday, regaining some ground after sliding on the Fed on Wednesday. Cheaper oil and a rally in chip names helped the mood ahead of the final U.S. trading day this week. The shift is drawing attention as the blue-chip index has just pulled back from another volatile session near its all-time highs. The Dow finished at 51,492.55 on June 17, after ending at 51,999.67 the day before, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis using S&P Dow Jones Indices figures.

US Futures Edge Up; Intel Moves, Fed Rate-Hike Caution Lingers

U.S. stock index futures were higher Thursday, with Intel and chip stocks lifting the tech sector. A decline in oil prices also eased some of the inflation worries that lingered after the Fed’s latest policy meeting. Stock index futures traded higher early Wednesday, indicating a positive start for Wall Street. Dow futures were up 261 points, or 0.50%, S&P 500 futures increased 0.81%, Nasdaq 100 futures jumped 1.44%, and Russell 2000 futures gained 1.09% around 5:28 a.m. ET, according to Investing.com data. Futures contracts trade ahead of the cash session, giving some direction on where major indexes could head.

Intel up as CPU demand, 18A-P chip update push shares higher

Intel up as CPU demand, 18A-P chip update push shares higher

Intel jumped 3.5% to $121.10 late Wednesday in U.S. trading after the company hit a new manufacturing milestone and analysts took another look at server chip demand. Shares moved between $118.13 and $125.11. Volume was more than 114 million shares. Intel is aiming to show its foundry business can land outside customers as CPU demand picks up. The company said its 18A-P process is now in risk production, meaning it’s making a limited run to check performance, spot defects and test for consistency before ramping up volumes.

June 2026 semiconductor news roundup: U.S. chip controls, SandboxAQ funding and Intel 18A-P

June 2026 semiconductor news roundup: U.S. chip controls, SandboxAQ funding and Intel 18A-P

U.S. officials have held off adding China’s DeepSeek, memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies and more than 100 other firms to a trade blacklist despite their being flagged as security risks, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The delay puts a sharper edge on this week’s semiconductor news: Washington is trying to build more of the chip supply chain at home while keeping advanced technology away from China. That matters now because the contest is no longer just about who makes the fastest graphics processor. It now runs through materials used inside fabs, export licenses, memory chips and the processors that run AI services after a model has already been trained.

Intel Holds Near Recent Highs After AI Run; Investors Watch Foundry Progress

Intel Holds Near Recent Highs After AI Run; Investors Watch Foundry Progress

Intel Corporation shares were mostly flat in early trade Tuesday, down 0.05% at $127.80, after chip stocks ran up on Monday. That keeps Intel’s market value near $649 billion. Tuesday’s small decline follows a sharp move higher in the group, as memory and data-storage names jumped and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index set a new high, up more than 4%. Intel shares have been moving with the chip index because traders are betting on a turnaround and see it as an AI-infrastructure play, instead of just a PC chip name. The foundry business—making chips for outside clients—now drives a lot of the stock’s value. Last week, Reuters said Google ordered more than three million TPUs from Intel for 2028, citing The Information, though Reuters said it couldn't confirm it. A win like that would help Intel take business from TSMC, but with no hard confirmation, Intel’s stock stays vulnerable to these kinds of headlines.

Nasdaq Tech Stocks Climb, QQQ Gains After U.S.-Iran Deal Hopes

Nasdaq Tech Stocks Climb, QQQ Gains After U.S.-Iran Deal Hopes

Invesco QQQ Trust jumped Monday as buyers returned to big tech after the U.S. and Iran reached a tentative deal meant to end the Middle East war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. QQQ was last at $743.54, up $22.20, or 3.1%, hitting an intraday high of $744.71, based on recent prices. Reuters said the Dow set an intraday high and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained as the agreement sent crude lower. The rally had another driver besides geopolitics. Cheaper oil fed right into the rates trade as lower energy prices can ease inflation and give the Fed less reason to keep tightening. Reuters said crude dropped 5%, the lowest since March. “For markets, the Strait is the only thing that matters because its blockage was most pernicious for the global economy,” Macquarie Group global forex and rates strategist Thierry Wizman told Reuters.

Dow Sets Record, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Climb After US-Iran Deal; Oil Drops

Stocks jumped Monday, with investors turning to risk as a first-step U.S.-Iran deal took some pressure off Middle East oil worries. According to LSEG-delayed figures on Reuters, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 648.99 points, or 1.27%, to 51,851.25. The S&P 500 was up 1.50% at 7,543.05, and the Nasdaq Composite ran ahead 2.35% to 26,496.47. Reuters said the Dow hit an intraday peak as gains spread out from tech shares. Stocks climbed after oil tumbled, easing some pressure on inflation and on company costs. Brent crude dropped 5.45% to $82.57, according to Reuters data. Reuters also reported oil was down around 5% after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a framework deal that could end their war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. United Airlines rose 6.4%, Delta gained 4.1%, American Airlines added 5.2%, while Norwegian Cruise and Carnival were both up 5.2%. Oil producers slumped. Exxon Mobil and Chevron each fell about 5% as crude prices dropped.

Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Gain; Oil Falls Ahead of Fed Decision

U.S. stock futures jumped early Monday. Investors came back into risk assets after a preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement lessened worries about a lasting oil shock. Dow Jones futures were up 457 points, or 0.89%, at 51,684, while S&P 500 futures gained 92.25 points, or 1.24%, to 7,527.25. Nasdaq 100 futures rose 629.25 points, or 2.12%, to 30,291.25 just before 5 a.m. ET, Markets Insider data showed. Oil and rates were the main drivers. Reuters said Washington and Tehran have a tentative agreement to end the Iran war and get tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz again. That hit crude hard, with Brent and U.S. oil down more than $4 a barrel early, AP said. Markets Insider showed WTI futures off 5.62% to around $80.11 and Brent down 4.25% near $83.11. Cheaper oil can boost stocks since company fuel bills drop and lower prices ease inflation, which the Fed watches.

Futures climb as oil drops after Iran deal; traders watching Fed meeting

Stocks futures rallied early Monday on news that Washington and Tehran struck a preliminary deal to end the Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The route is vital for oil shipments. Dow E-minis traded up 480 points, or 0.94%, at 04:45 a.m. ET. S&P 500 E-minis added 95.75 points, or 1.29%. Nasdaq 100 E-minis rose 653.75 points, or 2.2%, per Reuters. MarketWatch reported Dow futures aimed for a roughly 500-point jump right after news broke of the tentative deal. Stocks moved higher after traders saw less geopolitical risk and oil prices tumbled. Brent crude was near $83 and U.S. crude traded around $80 in early moves, dropping over 4% after details of the deal, according to MarketWatch and Trading Economics. Lower oil often means reduced costs for fuel and freight, cooling inflation, and more stable consumer spending. Airline and cruise shares gained in premarket trading. United Airlines added 4.4%, Delta 4%, American Airlines 3.5%, Norwegian Cruise was up 4.3%, and Carnival rose 3.6%, Reuters reported.

Intel stock gains after BofA upgrade, foundry business in focus

Intel shares climbed at the start of the week, building on recent gains fueled by AI hopes and some shifts in market sentiment about the company’s comeback. Intel was last at $124.57, adding $7.58 or around 6.5%. U.S. stock-index futures were also higher Monday. Traders pointed to a U.S.-Iran agreement as pushing up risk appetite, with Nasdaq 100 futures rising 2.1% before the bell. Intel got bumped up two steps by Bank of America last week, going from Underperform all the way to Buy. The price target got raised to $135 from $96 as well. Price targets are where analysts think the stock could trade in the next year. Benzinga cited analyst Vivek Arya, who said he sees “higher confidence in INTC's opportunity to help address industry constraints in leading edge wafers/packaging, plus supply into a much larger agentic CPU TAM.” TAM stands for total addressable market—the potential for sales if the demand is there.

Intel Shares Climb Again on AI Foundry Optimism, Pushing INTC Closer to Highs

Intel Shares Climb Again on AI Foundry Optimism, Pushing INTC Closer to Highs

Intel Corporation shares jumped again this week, ending Friday up 6.51% at $124.57. The stock traded between $115.33 and $127.60 during the day. That keeps INTC just under its 52-week high of $132.75. Market value stands near $626 billion, StockAnalysis data shows. More than 151 million shares changed hands, as buy orders came in strong. The action didn’t look like a routine drift—traders appeared to be renegotiating the chipmaker’s turnaround story. Intel’s latest rally is getting attention as investors start to see more than just a PC and server-chip turnaround story. The stock is now trading on bets Intel can become a U.S.-based alternative to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in high-end foundry work, the business of making chips for other companies. Reuters said this week Google ordered over 3 million TPUs, Google’s custom AI chips, from Intel for 2028. Nvidia is also looking at Intel products for future chips, according to Reuters, but the agency said it couldn’t independently confirm that part.

Intel Shares Face Early Test After Google-Driven Spike

Intel Stock Surges Again as AI Foundry Hopes Challenge Valuation Fears

Intel Corp. shares outperformed the broader market on Friday, closing at $124.57, up 6.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.3% and the S&P 500 gained 0.5%. The stock’s move matters because investors are no longer valuing Intel only as a recovering PC and server-chip maker; they are increasingly pricing in a possible role in the AI supply chain and contract manufacturing, where customers pay Intel to produce chips designed by others. The latest momentum followed a major sentiment shift on Wall Street. Bank of America double-upgraded Intel to Buy from Underperform and raised its price target — an analyst’s estimate of where a stock may trade over the next 12 months — to $135 from $96, citing greater confidence in Intel’s ability to win manufacturing customers and benefit from AI server demand. Intel shares were already one of the year’s strongest large-cap technology performers before Friday’s advance, making the upgrade important because it gave new institutional support to a rally that many investors had viewed as stretched.

  • European Smaller Companies Trust Sets 5.4% Yield Target for 2027, Plans 12.64p Dividend
    July 3, 2026, 2:29 AM EDT. The European Smaller Companies Trust PLC said it expects to pay a total dividend of 12.64p per share for the year ending 30 June 2027, calculated off an unaudited NAV of 252.4p as at 30 June 2026. That puts the dividend yield at about 5.4%, ahead of its policy to pay at least 5% of NAV. The payout is set for four quarterly instalments of 3.16p in November 2026 and then in February, May, and August 2027. The trust is sticking to its policy of targeting capital growth, with dividends coming from income, capital returns or reserves. Janus Henderson Fund Management UK Limited runs the trust.
