Dow hits record but chips slide in quiet trade ahead of July 4 break

U.S. stock screens showed nothing new on the cash tape Friday night. Both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq marked July 3, 2026, as closed for the observance of Independence Day. Nasdaq's standard after-hours trading lasts from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET on normal days. Thursday saw a split close, and Friday’s fund-flow numbers showed investors buying into tech funds on the pullback. But chip stocks dropped again before the long weekend. Now Monday’s open is a test for whether buyers stick with tech as AI valuations get a tougher look.

Dow Jones ends at record 52,900, chips mixed ahead of Fed week

U.S. stock markets were closed for trading Friday, leaving Thursday's closes unchanged. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at a record high 52,900.07, up 1.14%. The S&P 500 ended flat. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.80%. That put the Dow ahead of the Nasdaq by 1.94 points on the session, a sharp spread heading into the long holiday break. This isn't just a broad risk-on move; buyers looked for safety as chips sold off again. The Dow tracks 30 big stocks, weighting them by price, so gains in the highest-priced names move the index more than moves in bigger companies.

Palantir stock takes holiday break with $117 billion AI control-layer bet hanging

U.S. stock markets were closed Friday for the Independence Day observed holiday, so Palantir Technologies Inc. only had a four-day trading week. That ended a rough June, with the stock starting July on a firmer note. The New York Stock Exchange will also observe Independence Day on Friday, July 3 in 2026, while regular trading runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET otherwise.

The market is also starting to focus on the value of what’s left—Motion, GPC’s industrial parts division. Bloomberg reported the auto unit could fetch $10 billion or more, Reuters said, and noted GPC might still hold onto the business, go for a spinoff, or wait for another offer. GPC had no comment, according to Reuters.

Dow up but AI-chip slide hits Nasdaq after jobs report

US stock futures set for gains ahead of July 4; chip selloff masks broader move

U.S. stock investors go into the long weekend without the usual premarket session, as exchanges stay closed for Independence Day observed. The last read on futures had buyers stepping in after a weaker jobs report eased worries about a Fed rate hike soon. U.S. stock and bond markets are shut Friday and regular trading starts back up Monday, July 6. The Dow finished at a record, but the bigger story was the split between index price and market breadth. On Thursday, the S&P 500 closed little changed, but over two-thirds of its stocks traded higher. The Nasdaq slipped as traders reduced chip bets. That leaves Monday looking less like a typical risk-on move and more like a check on whether

Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) heads into shortened week after 315 million shares trade

Ondas Inc. heads into the U.S. holiday break after a busy session that finished lower. Thursday’s $7.41 close stands as the last regular-session price before Nasdaq shuts down July 3 for Independence Day observed and trading resumes next week. The key stat isn’t just Thursday’s 6.44% drop. It’s the churn: Ondas saw 315.5 million shares traded from Monday to Thursday, about 60% of its 523.16 million shares outstanding, according to Google Finance. That kind of turnover doesn’t mean every share changed hands, but it does show a lot moved as the stock stalled under $8.50.

Avis Budget Group, Inc. jumped Thursday. A new credit filing gave the market a direct look at the $650 million Pentwater settlement. The cash is big enough to matter for equity holders, but some lenders already included much of it in debt paperwork. The shares traded at $163.44, up $16.55, or 11.3%. At that price, Avis was worth roughly $5.77 billion. Given the share price and market cap, the $650 million settlement works out to about $18.40 per share.
