The FTSE 100’s top performers over the past year include miners Fresnillo, Endeavour Mining, Glencore, and Antofagasta, all with gains exceeding 100%. Polar Capital Technology Trust trails with 97%. Despite strong rallies, valuation metrics suggest limited upside, especially due to sector-specific risks. Endeavour Mining stands out with a relatively low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 16.7 compared to peers, supported by strong cash flow and earnings growth.

Dow slides 406 points as the AI surge stalls and an oil shock rattles the US market

Dow slides 406 points as the AI surge stalls and an oil shock rattles the US market

U.S. stocks slipped Friday, pulling back from record highs as a jump in oil prices revived inflation worries and set off selling in top AI names. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 406.40 points, or 0.81%, at 49,657.06. The S&P 500 fell 50.23, or 0.67%, to 7,451.01, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 195.89 points, or 0.73%, to finish at 26,439.34. A narrow cluster of AI-fueled stocks had been doing much of the work to keep Wall Street’s indexes near record highs—until the selloff arrived. The S&P 500, after climbing roughly 18% from its late-March bottom, was up over 9% for 2026 just before Friday’s slide. Even so, LSEG data reported by Reuters showed that only about 20% of S&P 500 components had outperformed the index since that March low.

United States Antimony Stock Falls After $11.3 Million Loss as Defense Contract Ramp Awaits

United States Antimony Corporation posted a first-quarter loss Thursday, hit by rising costs and stock-based compensation. Despite the setback, the miner and processor highlighted fresh U.S. defense-related contracts and stood by its gross revenue projection for 2026. The Dallas-based firm reported revenue of $6.8 million for the quarter ending March 31, slipping from $7.0 million a year ago. Net loss hit $11.3 million, or 8 cents per diluted share. That’s a swing from net income of $546,524 in the same period last year, the company said.

US Stock Market Today: Dow Retakes 50,000 as AI Rally Sends S&P 500, Nasdaq to Records

U.S. stocks climbed in after-hours trade Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reclaimed the 50,000 mark, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq notched new records. A pop in Cisco fueled renewed appetite for artificial intelligence names. Reuters pointed to tech shares as the main driver, with Cisco, Nvidia, and Cerebras drawing focus for their ties to AI spending. Why it matters now: Stocks climbed despite oil-fueled inflation dimming rate-cut prospects. Investors are pinning expectations on earnings and AI capex, while the Federal Reserve has shown little sign of shifting toward looser policy for equities.

US Stock Market Live: Hot CPI and Oil Shock Break Wall Street’s Record Run

US Stock Market Live: Hot CPI and Oil Shock Break Wall Street’s Record Run

Stocks in the U.S. lost ground Tuesday morning, as April’s inflation reading came in hotter and oil prices pushed higher, cutting short the market’s record-setting streak. Right around 10:54 a.m. ET, the SPY, which tracks the S&P 500, slipped roughly 0.7%. The QQQ fell about 1.2%, with the Dow’s DIA off 0.6%. Small caps fared worse— IWM dropped 1.8%. The XLE, representing energy stocks, managed to hold just above water. There’s little mystery behind the shift: inflation isn’t just an energy story anymore. The Consumer Price Index jumped 0.6% in April, pushing the annual gain to 3.8%. Core CPI—excluding food and energy—added 0.4% for the month and is up 2.8% from a year ago. Gasoline prices surged 5.4% in April alone, climbing 28.4% over the past year, leaving traders with little reason to brush off the data as background noise.

US Stock Market After-Hours Update: Futures Slip as Oil Jumps on Fresh Iran Fighting

U.S. stock futures edged lower in Thursday’s after-hours session, with oil prices surging after the U.S. and Iran traded fire, clouding the month-old Middle East ceasefire. S&P 500 futures slipped roughly 0.2%. U.S. crude futures jumped over 2%, reaching $96.8 a barrel. This comes as Wall Street retreats from recent highs fueled by the AI rally. Fresh gains in oil prices risk stoking inflation, squeezing margins and complicating the outlook for interest rates, right as investors look ahead to Friday’s U.S. payrolls data.

Stocks lost ground by midday Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average couldn’t hold 50,000, S&P 500 dipped after an early record attempt, and tech continued to carry much of the load as oil prices eased. Index ETFs tracked the move: SPY dropped roughly 0.2%, QQQ hovered close to unchanged, while DIA slipped 0.5% as of 12:48 p.m. ET. This shift stands out with Wall Street already trading near the top. Fresh records for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq followed upbeat earnings and a pullback in crude prices, which had cooled some inflation concerns.

U.S. stock index futures barely budged early Thursday, with contracts for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq sticking near all-time highs in the wake of a two-day surge driven by AI names and a steep drop in oil. Latest premarket moves had Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 futures each sitting within 0.1% of unchanged. This pause is notable: Wall Street’s already at new highs rather than clawing back from losses. On Wednesday, chip names helped push both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to record closes. The Dow, too, jumped 1.24% to finish at 49,910.59—just shy of that 50,000 milestone.

  • Marvell Technology (MRVL) Up 154% in 3 Months as AI Demand Lifts Shares
    July 2, 2026, 12:38 PM EDT. Shares of Marvell Technology (MRVL) have surged 154% over the past three months, far ahead of the sector and chip industry indexes. The rally is being driven by heavy demand for AI data center products, especially around networking and optics. MRVL is now projecting its interconnect unit to climb more than 70% year-over-year in fiscal 2027, with products like TIAs, drivers and scale-out switches seen hitting billion-dollar revenue levels. Shares now trade at a forward 12-month price-to-sales ratio of 17.42, topping the semiconductor industry's average of 10.12, raising some valuation questions. Marvell posted record operating cash flow of $638.8 million in Q1 fiscal 2027, showing better margins. Analysts now look for 42.3% earnings growth in fiscal 2027 following upward estimate moves.
