Accenture slide puts AI consulting trade in focus when markets reopen after Juneteenth

Accenture shares finished Thursday at $127.98, down 17.97%, after hitting a 52-week low of $125.60 in the session.

VIX slips on U.S.-Iran deal, Hormuz talks keep volatility in focus

VIX slips on U.S.-Iran deal, Hormuz talks keep volatility in focus

VIX sank after the U.S. and Iran agreed to halt their war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But the sharp drop in Wall Street’s fear gauge might be painting a rosier picture than the market really has. The VIX dropped 2.04 points, or 11.06%, to 16.40 on June 18, according to Cboe data. The index uses prices from S&P 500 options to track expectations for volatility in the stock market in the near term, but doesn't directly gauge investor sentiment.

That mattered because the move landed just a day after Wall Street sold off on bets the Fed might raise rates next instead of cutting.

Tenon Medical stock drops 42% as volume surges, putting spotlight on Nasdaq compliance

Tenon Medical Inc. shares plunged 41.9% Thursday, ending the session at 35 cents and reaching a new 52-week low. Volume spiked well past usual levels as the small medical-device stock tumbled. Tenon is facing Nasdaq compliance issues now, so the timing matters. A stock price under $1 puts its listing at risk. With this big fall hitting right before a market holiday, investors get less time to respond before the market opens up again on Monday.

Rocket Lab Drops Even After Nasdaq-100 Nod, SpaceX IPO Buzz Fades

Rocket Lab stock slips as Nasdaq-100 entry nears and SpaceX fever cools

Rocket Lab Corporation shares slipped on Thursday after a volatile, heavy-volume session, as investors weighed its looming Nasdaq-100 entry against fresh pressure from SpaceX’s post-IPO retreat. The stock finished at $107.24, down 0.7%, after trading between $101.12 and $110.98. The timing matters. Thursday was the last regular U.S. equity session before the Juneteenth market holiday, and Rocket Lab is scheduled to join the Nasdaq-100 before trading opens Monday. The Nasdaq-100 is the index of the largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq; index inclusion can force funds that track it to buy a stock, though that buying says little by itself about the company’s earnings power.

Bloom Energy jumps to all-time high after FERC moves boost AI power demand

Bloom Energy Corp closed up 15.4% at $328.91 on Thursday, hitting a record. Shares touched $329.51 during the session and volume hit 15.7 million shares, according to StockAnalysis. Investors snapped up stocks tied to AI data centers and near-term power supply. Timing played a role here. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission told regional grid operators to either defend or change their rules for hooking up big electricity users like data centers. Also, the New York Stock Exchange is shutting down Friday for Juneteenth, so investors won't get another full cash-market session until Monday.

Intel at all-time high after Trump talks up Apple chip plans

Intel jumped 10.6% to finish at a record close just under $134 on Thursday after Trump said Apple plans to team up with the chipmaker on U.S. semiconductor design and manufacturing. Intel’s rally added about $65 billion to its market cap, outpacing the broader market. Apple signing on would be a big win for Intel Foundry, which is looking for validation from a huge, picky client. Apple has relied on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co for its M-series chips since it stopped using Intel-designed ones in Macs back in 2020.

Nvidia stock rises nearly 3% as chip rebound and Europe AI buildout lift shares

Nvidia stock rises nearly 3% as chip rebound and Europe AI buildout lift shares

Nvidia shares climbed nearly 3% on Thursday, ending near $210 as semiconductor stocks rebounded from the previous session’s Federal Reserve-driven selloff. “All together, the package of data is still supportive whether or not the Fed has become a little bit more hawkish,” said Tony Welch, chief investment officer at SignatureFD. The move matters because Nvidia’s valuation assumes artificial-intelligence spending will keep spreading beyond the largest U.S. cloud operators, often called hyperscalers. At the VivaTech gathering in Paris, Europe’s push for “sovereign AI” — local control over data, models and computing — dominated discussion even as the region remains reliant on U.S. technology. IBM senior vice president Ana Paula Assis said sovereignty was “about having control where it matters — not where the technology is from.”

SpaceX Stock Closes Flat at $185 as Selling Slows, Index Review Up Next

SpaceX shares closed down Thursday, extending losses to a second day even as late action trimmed an earlier 10% slide. The stock ended at $185, now sitting about 18% off Tuesday’s intraday high near $226. Options are pricing in a swing of roughly 10% either way next week. Why the reversal counts: price discovery is still shaky for a huge new public name. Just 4.2% of SpaceX found its way into initial public trading, with retail investors getting a bigger slice than usual. That thin float can push swings both ways.
