Amazon recovered to $244.39, up 2.4% for the week, matching the Nasdaq’s gain, with Prime Day and second-quarter results upcoming. Ondas rose 1.64% to $9.27 after announcing a $125 million acquisition of Cyberhawk, mostly in cash, with the deal expected to close in the third quarter. The Nasdaq jumped 1.9% Thursday, led by chip stocks and optimism over a U.S.-Iran deal, capping a week that included a Fed-driven selloff. Kioxia surged 12.07% in Tokyo, contributing to a strong week for Japan’s Nikkei index. ASML slipped 0.6% to €1,666.00 after clarifying it did not ship EUV machines or parts to China, responding to U.S. concerns and impacting its AI-driven momentum.
