US Stock Market After the Bell: S&P 500 Slips From Record as Chip Rally Cracks, Oil Keeps Wall Street on Edge

US Stock Market Today After Hours: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Records as AMD Pulls AI Trade Higher

US Stock Market Today After Hours: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Records as AMD Pulls AI Trade Higher

Record finishes for both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq on Wednesday, with investors piling into artificial intelligence shares following a bullish outlook from Advanced Micro Devices. Oil prices slid as optimism around a potential U.S.-Iran agreement gained traction. The Dow moved higher as well, sending all three major U.S. indexes up by the close. This shift is notable—Wall Street’s current rally rides on both accelerating profit growth and a breather from sliding energy prices. Brent crude dropped 7.83% to close at $101.27 a barrel. U.S. crude slipped roughly 7%, finishing at $95.08. That’s knocked out some inflation pressure, despite turmoil in the Middle East still hanging over the market.

US Stock Market Today: S&P 500 and Nasdaq Hit Records as AMD Rally, Oil Drop Shake Wall Street

Stocks barreled higher Wednesday, driving the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to new records. Advanced Micro Devices gave the AI trade another jolt with a strong forecast, while reports of movement on a U.S.-Iran agreement knocked oil down. By 12:30 p.m. ET, the Dow climbed 510.85 points, or 1.04%, landing at 49,809.10. The S&P 500 advanced 82.14 points, or 1.13%, to 7,341.36. Nasdaq surged 395.68 points, or 1.56%, to 25,717.84. Three tailwinds hit the market in quick succession: upbeat corporate earnings, renewed appetite for AI-focused stocks, and a sudden slide in oil prices that might help cool inflation. All this ahead of Friday's nonfarm payrolls, the key U.S. jobs data that often shapes forecasts for Fed moves.

SMH ETF Is Back in the AI Chip Rally. One Risk Still Could Bite Investors

Wednesday morning saw the VanEck Semiconductor ETF jump back into the spotlight as U.S. chipmakers headed higher premarket, buoyed by Advanced Micro Devices’ bullish outlook and a fresh wave of interest in AI-related hardware. SMH traded at $522.69, marking a $16.25 climb from the previous close. Reuters flagged AMD surging almost 18% before the bell, with Intel, Arm, Qualcomm, and Micron also moving up. This shift is significant as the AI trade widens out. Instead of just chasing Nvidia-type GPUs—the specialized chips powering much of AI’s training—investors are eyeing more. AMD’s latest update flagged stronger appetite for CPUs, the general-purpose chips at the heart of everyday computing. As AI focus tilts toward “inference,” or deploying trained models in practical scenarios, fresh demand for these processors is emerging.

Nvidia Stock’s AI Lead Just Got a Harder Test as AMD Surges and Alphabet Closes In

Nvidia Stock’s AI Lead Just Got a Harder Test as AMD Surges and Alphabet Closes In

Nvidia shares come under the microscope Wednesday, with an AMD-driven surge across chip stocks underscoring changing AI investment trends. Bloomberg notes Nvidia has shed 9% over six sessions since its April 27 record close, even as the Philadelphia semiconductor index climbed over 5% in that span. Investors’ appetite for artificial intelligence remains clear. What’s less certain is how tightly that capital will stay linked to Nvidia’s GPUs—the backbone for training big AI models—or whether some of it shifts toward CPUs, the catch-all chips running servers everywhere.

Intel Corporation’s SambaNova AI Bet Clears U.S. Review as INTC Stock Nears $100

SANTA CLARA, California, May 2, 2026, 10:06 PDT U.S. antitrust regulators have signed off on Intel Corporation’s investment in SambaNova Systems, eliminating a key regulatory obstacle from an AI-chip deal that’s drawn attention because Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan also serves as chair at the startup. According to a Federal Trade Commission notice, the agency granted early termination for transaction 20261227, naming Intel as the acquirer and SambaNova as the target.

Intel Stock Pulls Back From 26-Year High as AI Spending Worries Hit Chips

Intel Stock Pulls Back From 26-Year High as AI Spending Worries Hit Chips

Intel shares pared losses after a sharp early slide on Tuesday, but remained in the red through the afternoon. The chipmaker’s recent rally stalled, leaving the stock off nearly 1% at $84.12. Earlier, it touched $80.39. Volume topped 109 million shares. Intel’s position is drawing attention as it’s now seen as a bellwether for a new wave in AI trading: CPUs powering data center inference, that critical phase where models process real-world questions. On Friday, Reuters revealed AI service providers have been snapping up Intel’s CPUs with such urgency that chips once marked as unsellable are now back on the table. “A meaningful foundry contribution in 2027 would indicate the turnaround is ‘complete,’” TECHnalysis Research president Bob O’Donnell told Reuters.

S&P 500’s April Rally Has One Big Catch as Big Tech Earnings Loom

Stocks in the U.S. edged lower Monday, pulling back after last week's run to record highs and a sharp rally through April. Oil prices ticked up. Investors mostly hesitated ahead of a packed week featuring earnings from the big tech names and the upcoming Fed decision. By 11:04 a.m. ET, the S&P 500 had slipped 0.17% to 7,153.03. “The market was trying to hold on to its gains,” noted Phil Blancato, chief market strategist at Osaic Wealth, as traders waited for fresh data. Time’s running down. As of Friday, the S&P 500 had surged about 13% since March 30. The Nasdaq pushed even further, jumping over 19%. Those gains turned initial Middle East nerves into fresh market highs—no sign of any extended slide.

Intel Stock Rally Is Forcing Wall Street to Rethink the AI Chip Race

Intel Stock Rally Is Forcing Wall Street to Rethink the AI Chip Race

Intel stock climbed again Monday, building on a steep post-earnings surge that’s pulled the chip giant back into Wall Street’s AI mix after lagging for years. Shares traded at $84.76, up 2.7%. That puts Intel’s market cap near $430.6 billion. The shift is taking center stage now as AI demand pushes further into what's called “inference”—in other words, running trained models to answer prompts or perform tasks. That puts CPUs, those all-purpose chips that orchestrate the rest of the hardware, back in the spotlight after GPUs had their initial moment driving AI’s early surge. On Friday, Reuters said Intel’s latest results and guidance spurred at least 23 brokerages to hike their price targets. CFO David Zinsner told Reuters the company managed to move inventory that had been sitting on the shelf, but cautioned, “I am not sure we have that benefit in the second quarter.”

Best Stock To Buy Today Outside The U.S.? SK Hynix’s AI Rally Forces The Question

Shares of SK hynix jumped 5.73% to 1,292,000 won on Monday, lifting Seoul’s KOSPI to another all-time high as investors chased chipmakers tied to AI. “There’s anticipation around companies linked to AI data centers,” Daishin Securities analyst Lee Kyoung-min said, highlighting semiconductor and power-equipment players in the broader AI value chain. SK hynix stands out as the most obvious non-U.S. pick for “best stock to buy today” in a news-focused screen—though far from a safe bet. Shares earlier jumped over 7%, hitting all-time highs after Intel’s numbers fueled fresh enthusiasm for AI-driven demand. Samsung Electronics, the local competitor, added 2.5% as it contends with a looming strike threat from unionized workers in May.

Nvidia vs AMD vs Intel Stock: Why Intel’s Rally Just Changed the AI Chip Forecast

Nvidia vs AMD vs Intel Stock: Why Intel’s Rally Just Changed the AI Chip Forecast

Intel’s surprise earnings pulled investors into a more crowded AI trade. The usual Nvidia-or-bust mindset is shifting: AMD and Intel are suddenly in focus, as attention swings from graphics chips to the CPUs powering data-center workloads. The shift matters now because AI spending is pushing further into inference—the process of running trained models—and into what’s known as agentic AI, where software acts more independently and needs less direction. GPUs, or graphics processing units, still run the show in both AI training and much of inference, but now CPUs, or central processing units, are being promoted as a larger piece of the puzzle.

The Dow lost ground, so beneath the surface, the rally was less broad than the headline highs implied. The rebound’s about to get challenged. Investors are bracing for a packed week: megacap tech earnings, Q1 U.S. growth numbers, the Fed’s favored inflation figure, and a Federal Reserve meeting set for April 28-29.

  • Satsuma Technology PLC Stresses 'Vote Against' Stance on Capital Return, Delisting Plan
    July 3, 2026, 8:30 AM EDT. Satsuma Technology PLC (SATS) told shareholders to vote against the plan to return capital and delist from the London Stock Exchange. The board moved to clear up confusion after a circular sent on June 24, 2026. Directors said the outcome will depend on where Bitcoin is trading at the time the company sells assets and if the court signs off. Updated payout figures now use a lower Bitcoin price-$59,923 instead of $64,255-and add in £3 million of estimated extra cash. Satsuma said it will stick to cash discipline and send monthly updates. The board flagged ongoing volatility and unknown termination costs that could hit the final amount returned.
