US stocks finish up as chip shares surge and oil falls

US Stocks Pause for Juneteenth After Chip-Led Rally; Fed, Micron Earnings Loom

U.S. stock trading was paused Friday for Juneteenth, leaving Wall Street to sit with a chip-led rebound that steadied the market after a midweek Federal Reserve jolt. The latest cash close showed the S&P 500 up 80.48 points at 7,500.58, the Nasdaq Composite up 496.28 points at 26,517.93 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 72.15 points at 51,564.70. That matters now because the rally has two engines, and they are not fully aligned. Artificial-intelligence demand is still pulling money into chip and infrastructure names, but the Fed has pushed investors back toward the idea that borrowing costs may rise rather than fall. The next cash session will open with that tension still in place.

Gartner (IT) Stock Plunges 50% – Will This Tech Advisor Bounce Back? (In-Depth Analysis)

Gartner’s stock has experienced a roller-coaster 2025. After touching all-time highs, the share price cratered ~50% from its peak over the past yearfinimize.com. Key factors behind this plunge include investor fears over slowing growth in Gartner’s contract value – a metric of future subscription revenue – and softening IT spending forecasts amid economic uncertaintyfinimize.com. A broader sell-off in high-growth tech stocks also weighed on Gartner’s valuationfinimize.com.

Notably, the stock initially jumped in pre-market trading after the Q3 earnings beat and guidance raisereuters.cominvesting.com, reaching the high-$240s.

Agentic AI Revolution: How Autonomous, Goal-Driven AI Agents Are Reshaping Our World

Agentic AI Revolution: How Autonomous, Goal-Driven AI Agents Are Reshaping Our World

Agentic AI, often described as autonomous, goal-oriented AI, refers to AI systems endowed with a form of “agency.” In practical terms, an agentic AI can make independent decisions and take actions in pursuit of an objective, without needing a human to prompt each step. It’s a step beyond traditional AI models that simply respond to explicit inputs. For example, a classic AI system generates outputs only when prompted and doesn’t initiate further action on its own. An agentic AI, by contrast, can be given a high-level goal and then proactively figure out the steps needed to achieve that goal, executing those steps autonomously joneswalker.com. In essence, agentic AI combines advanced decision-making algorithms with the ability to act in the world autonomously. IBM defines agentic AI as systems “designed to autonomously make decisions and act, with the ability to pursue complex goals with limited supervision.” These systems bring together the flexible intelligence of modern AI models with more traditional software accuracy to carry out tasks on a user’s behalf ibm.com. Crucially, an agentic AI doesn’t wait passively for a prompt at each juncture; it can “decide” what to do next based on context and learned objectives.
