Alphabet Finishes Up in Short Week After Google Sees Two AI Heads Exit

Alphabet Finishes Up in Short Week After Google Sees Two AI Heads Exit

Alphabet is losing another big name in AI as the company heads into the long weekend. John Jumper, the Nobel-winning scientist who helped create AlphaFold, said Friday he’s leaving Google DeepMind after nearly nine years and will join Anthropic. Nasdaq was closed, so the stock didn’t move. Alphabet finished Thursday at $368.03, up 1.2%, as Nasdaq added 1.9%. For the week, Alphabet gained 2.3%, while the index rose 2.4%. Investors hadn’t priced in a strong view on Alphabet ahead of the holiday, with both gains tracking each other.

Microsoft slips 2.9% this holiday-shortened week as traders question cloud capacity

Microsoft slips 2.9% this holiday-shortened week as traders question cloud capacity

U.S. markets didn’t trade Friday because of Juneteenth, so Microsoft’s last price for the week stayed at $379.40 from Thursday. That was down $11.34 from June 12, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq managed to finish the short week up. Chipmakers and AI parts suppliers kept seeing gains, but Microsoft lagged the group. Microsoft's stock dropped 3.8% Wednesday and clawed back just 0.1% Thursday. That split is important for investors.

SpaceX Shares Drop with Nvidia Gaining Value; Nasdaq-100 Inclusion Question Returns

SpaceX Shares Drop with Nvidia Gaining Value; Nasdaq-100 Inclusion Question Returns

Nvidia pushed higher Thursday while SpaceX slid again, leaving more distance between the heavyweights as bets on AI infrastructure keep pulling in cash. SpaceX logged a second day down from its earlier high of $225.64 this week. Nvidia closed at $210.69. Shares in the two are only $25.69 apart, but that doesn’t say much. Look at market cap — share price times shares outstanding — and Nvidia comes in at just over double SpaceX, around $5.1 trillion versus $2.4 trillion.

2026 Stock Market Crash Talk Swirls Amid Mixed Historic Signals

2026 Stock Market Crash Talk Swirls Amid Mixed Historic Signals

Stocks wrapped up trading before the holiday with Wall Street still close to all-time highs. The S&P 500 settled at 7,500.58 on Thursday, which is 9.6% above its 2025 close. The Nasdaq Composite finished at 26,517.93 and the Dow posted 51,564.70. No sign of a confirmed crash, but there's not much room if things go wrong. This matters now as the rally stands on a clear trade-off. AI spending is pushing profits higher, but expensive valuations, tight market leadership and a stronger Fed rate outlook are making stocks more vulnerable to misses on earnings or inflation.

TD Bank stock rises on Canada’s capital buffer cut

TD Bank shares moved higher on the Toronto exchange late Friday after Canada’s regulator lowered the capital buffer for top banks, freeing up capital for Toronto-Dominion and its rivals. TD traded at C$169.38, up 0.44%, at 3:46 p.m. EDT. The stock touched C$170.66 earlier, a 52-week high according to Google Finance.

UiPath stock enters Juneteenth break lower for week as AI automation push faces test

UiPath stock enters Juneteenth break lower for week as AI automation push faces test

UiPath shares head into the long U.S. holiday weekend lower for the week, with the automation-software company’s latest artificial intelligence product push yet to shift the market’s view on a stock still trading near the lower end of its 2026 range. The timing matters. The New York Stock Exchange, where UiPath is listed, is closed Friday for Juneteenth National Independence Day, freezing the tape after a choppy four-session run. PATH last traded at $10.27 on Thursday, up 0.3% on the day, after moving between $9.88 and $10.40 on volume of about 45.2 million shares.

Qatar-Donated Air Force One for Trump Starts Final Tests at Andrews

Qatar-Donated Air Force One for Trump Starts Final Tests at Andrews

U.S. Air Force officials on Friday showed off a former Qatari Boeing 747-8, now parked at Joint Base Andrews, that they're fitting out as a temporary Air Force One. The jet will start commissioning flights before joining the presidential fleet. Pressure is up as the current VC-25A jets get older, with more maintenance work needed, and Boeing’s replacement planes still years from delivery. The name "Air Force One" refers to any U.S. Air Force jet that has the president on board, not to a single aircraft.

US markets shut for Juneteenth after S&P 500, Nasdaq end week up

US markets shut for Juneteenth after S&P 500, Nasdaq end week up

U.S. stock markets stayed shut Friday for Juneteenth, locking in Thursday’s strong rally and leaving tech stocks out front as the week ended. The holiday closure left Thursday’s closing numbers untouched: the S&P 500 added 1.1%, the Nasdaq Composite was up 1.9%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a 0.1% gain. The timing is key as the rally faces fresh hurdles from Federal Reserve policy and questions about how long the artificial-intelligence surge can last. The Fed kept the federal funds rate steady at 3.50% to 3.75% this week, but investors re-evaluated the outlook for rates after the Fed’s inflation remarks.

Dow Jones Pauses for Juneteenth Holiday After Weekly Gain

Dow Jones Pauses for Juneteenth Holiday After Weekly Gain

Dow Jones trading stopped on Friday, as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq remained closed for Juneteenth. The index’s last value held at Thursday’s close of 51,564.70, up 72.15 points, or 0.14%. The Dow heads into the long weekend in positive territory, but it’s not leading. The blue-chip index gained 0.71% this week. That lags the S&P 500, which added 0.93%. The Nasdaq posted a much bigger 2.43% jump. Investors kept bidding up tech and AI stocks instead of industrials.

WELL Health slides as TSX holds steady; Circle Medical, cash flow draw attention

WELL Health Technologies Corp. dropped late Friday in Toronto, trailing the Canadian market. Investors set aside governance updates and kept focus on whether the health clinic group will turn strong revenue gains into better cash flow. The stock moved during a regular day for Canadian trading, with U.S. markets closed for Juneteenth. Earlier, Canada’s main stock index stayed mostly flat, Reuters said, as gains in energy shares balanced out declines from gold miners.

MDA Space stock rises as Blue Canyon deal targets U.S. defense market

MDA Space stock rises as Blue Canyon deal targets U.S. defense market

MDA Space shares rose in Toronto on Friday after the Canadian satellite and robotics company agreed to buy Blue Canyon Technologies from RTX’s Raytheon business for US$620 million in cash, a deal investors treated as a bet on U.S. defense-space demand. The TSX-listed stock was up 4.4% at C$58.08 in delayed afternoon trading. The move matters now because MDA is trying to shift from being a supplier around the edges of U.S. defense programs toward a deeper local manufacturing and contracting role. Canada’s broader stock market gave little help: the S&P/TSX Composite was largely unchanged earlier Friday, with energy gains offsetting weakness in gold miners.

Fermi rally stalls with Nasdaq closed for Juneteenth as proxy fight simmers

Fermi rally stalls with Nasdaq closed for Juneteenth as proxy fight simmers

Fermi Inc. heads into the long weekend after a sharp rally, with no Friday session to follow it up. The Nasdaq-listed AI power campus builder ended Thursday at $9.50, gaining around 10%, before U.S. equity markets closed for Juneteenth. Fermi is still pitching its potential more than showing operating results. Its value hangs on whether Project Matador—the planned Amarillo, Texas site—can shift from land and permits to locking in customers. Fermi says it wants to build a 17-gigawatt private grid at the site, calling a gigawatt 1 billion watts of power. The company says about 6 GW has permits, nearly $1 billion of financing is committed, and first power is aimed for 2026.

Nu Holdings stock pauses for Juneteenth after volatile week as buyback, credit worries compete

Nu Holdings Ltd.’s U.S.-listed shares enter the long weekend caught between a modest weekly rebound and renewed analyst caution, with Wall Street shut for the Juneteenth holiday. The stock last traded at $12.71 on Thursday, down about 1.5% on the day, even as the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.9% and the S&P 500 gained 1.1%. That is the point. Nu is no longer trading only as a fast-growing Latin American fintech story. The market is now weighing whether its credit expansion, CFO transition and new capital-return plan can sit comfortably in the same stock.

Rocket Companies shares gain ahead of holiday pause as mortgage rate bets linger

Rocket Companies shares gain ahead of holiday pause as mortgage rate bets linger

Rocket Companies shares climbed 9.08% on Thursday to end at $14.42, their highest single-day gain this week. Trading volume hit around 52.8 million shares. The jump sends Rocket into the long U.S. holiday weekend with momentum, as the New York Stock Exchange closes Friday for Juneteenth. Thursday’s finish stands as the last regular close. Rocket is seen as a high-sensitivity play on housing, which is in focus now. When mortgage rates fall, investors often circle back to lenders. They hunt for names that can gain share in purchase and refinance loans. Refinancing swaps out an old mortgage for a new one, often to cut the interest rate or shift the loan terms.

Micron ends at record, MU investors watch next AI memory test set for June 24

Micron Technology finished the holiday-shortened week at a record high, with traders piling into the memory-chip stock ahead of earnings next week. Investors are betting AI demand is keeping supply tight. U.S. stock markets closed Friday for Juneteenth, so Thursday’s 8.7% surge to $1,133.99 was the last print of the week. Micron’s June 24 report is in focus now as investors look for signs the AI trade reaches beyond Nvidia and the main server builders. DRAM and HBM, two types of memory chips that power fast data work in AI, sit at the center of the profit story. Reuters said Micron’s results are viewed as a pulse check on chip demand and AI spending.

Exxon Mobil Corp. goes into Monday’s open on the defensive. Shares dropped over the holiday week, with investors cutting the stock as oil’s war premium eased and more crude flowed through the Strait of Hormuz. The stock finished Thursday at $137.81, losing 2.08% on the day after dropping to as low as $135.85 during the session. The New York Stock Exchange did not open Friday for Juneteenth, which meant there was no chance for a regular-session move before the weekend.

Tankers flagged to Qatar and Saudi Arabia were hit, pushing up tension and keeping traders on edge.
