Earlier, the Dow had been down 251 points, and only 12 of its 30 stocks were rising, according to Dow Jones Market Data cited by MarketWatch.

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) climbs after Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) supply deal eases 2031 revenue risk

Broadcom Inc. traded higher in premarket on Monday after saying it will extend its chip partnership with Apple Inc. through 2031. The new deal makes Broadcom more of a long-term supplier to Apple, aiming at contract length instead of just another AI-chip move. Broadcom will supply a range of custom chips to Apple, which makes up around 20% of Broadcom’s yearly sales, analysts told Reuters. Broadcom was trading at $373.94 in MarketWatch’s delayed quote at 8:45 a.m. EDT, up $13.49 from its $360.45 close. With 4.76 billion shares on the table, that premarket move works out to nearly $64 billion in market cap added before the open.

The NYSE was set to open at 9:30 a.m. ET after being shut for Independence Day on Friday, July 3. As of the last pricing, Rivian was quoted at $18.63 and valued at around $23.3 billion.

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) shares slump as AI backlog now tops company’s market cap

Volume was about 62% of the short interest from the most recent update.

Cipher Digital stock rebound meets short-cover test as AI data-center forecasts stay wide

Cipher Digital stock rebound meets short-cover test as AI data-center forecasts stay wide

Cipher Digital Inc. bounced on Monday, but the sharper investor read was not the 8.4% gain. It was the mix of heavy volume, a large short base and a still-wide forecast spread. The stock ended at $21.73 after trading from $20.54 to $22.58. Volume was 28.30 million shares, about 14% above the 24.85 million average volume shown by Google Finance. Benzinga reported short interest rose to 54.50 million shares from 52.53 million in the prior reporting period, equal to 16.26% of float. At Monday’s volume, that short count equaled 1.9 sessions of trading, versus 2.19 days when measured by recent average volume. That is not proof of covering. It shows why CIFR can move fast when buyers return.

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock beats Nasdaq as AI cash-flow forecast tightens

Meta Platforms Inc ended Monday up 2.98% at $600.29, outpacing the Nasdaq Composite’s 1.12% gain and the S&P 500’s 0.72% rise. The stock traded between $581.76 and $603.58, with volume of about 17.06 million shares, close to its 65-day average. The cleaner investor read is not the one-day bounce. It is the gap between Meta’s earnings multiple and the cash cost of its AI build. MarketScreener consensus data show Meta’s capex rising to about $133.4 billion in 2026 from $69.7 billion in 2025, while free cash flow is forecast to slip to a small negative number before recovering in 2027.

BONK governance attack exposes meme-coin rally’s liquidity gap as HMSTR churns, PEPE holds

BONK governance attack exposes meme-coin rally’s liquidity gap as HMSTR churns, PEPE holds

Meme-coin traders spent the weekend chasing a fresh bounce in Bonk, Pepe and Hamster Kombat. By Monday evening in Europe, the better trade read was not which token pumped most. It was which move had real liquidity behind it, and which one could break first. BONK was the cleanest stress test. KuCoin’s syndicated AMBCrypto item said traders were looking for a 21% to 46% BONK bounce, with volume up 152% and open interest up 33.9%, while the token was testing supply near $0.000005 and targets of $0.0000061 to $0.0000073. Hours later, CryptoBriefing reported that BonkDAO had been hit by a malicious governance proposal that drained an estimated $20 million in BONK from its treasury.

Fed’s Waller flags July hike as inflation dots rise

Fed’s Waller flags July hike as inflation dots rise

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller told investors on Monday that inflation is now the main policy concern for the U.S. central bank, shifting focus away from jobs and putting more attention on the July meeting.

Cal-Maine’s settlement dwarfed by $1.4 billion in higher egg sales

Cal-Maine’s settlement dwarfed by $1.4 billion in higher egg sales

Cal-Maine Foods gained 0.9% to $84.59 Monday afternoon as traders seemed to shrug off the sticker shock from the U.S. egg-pricing settlement. Shares changed hands at 5.9 times trailing earnings, suggesting the market still sees Cal-Maine as a cyclical name instead of a company weighed down by a big cash hit. Cal-Maine’s payout is minor. The company is set to pay $1.5 million to several states and give away 30 million eggs. For reference, Cal-Maine Foods reported $1.220 billion in net income in fiscal 2025, its annual report shows. That same report notes conventional egg sales climbed by $1.5 billion from fiscal 2024, with higher prices making up $1.4 billion of that jump. Volume brought in another $114 million.
