How the day unfolded 32 summaries generated

1. Pre-open outlook4:01 AM ET

   Yesterday, the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Dow Jones posted mixed reactions as J.B. Hunt fell 13% on an earnings warning, Intel rose on memory‑chip optimism, and the Fear & Greed Index stayed at 26 (fear). Overnight, President Trump threatened EU tariffs over a Canada associate‑membership proposal and analysts noted a stronger dollar and rising yields after the Fed’s recent rate hike. Oil slipped as Saudi Arabia offered ship‑to‑ship crude transfers after a pipeline hit, and Trump said the US is ‘hopefully’ nearing an end to the Iran war.

2. Midday check12:31 PM ET

   US stocks are trading higher, with the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 up after oil prices and Treasury yields eased. Chip makers such as Micron and Intel are extending their comeback, while auto giant GM is revving up a V‑8 engine push amid tepid EV demand. At the same time, record diesel prices are stoking worries about fuel‑cost pressures on the broader economy.

3. Closing wrap7:31 PM ET

   US equities closed while attention stayed on the bond market’s historically bad run and the “TACO” trade bets tied to the Iran situation. Chip makers such as Micron and Intel continued their comebacks and Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang signaled double‑year chip sales, bolstering tech sentiment. Saudi Arabia’s push to ship more oil through the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing speculation over President Trump’s Iran stance kept geopolitical risk in focus. The 10‑year Treasury ended Wednesday at 5.01% in the Federal Reserve’s H.15 release.

Where the week stood at the close

The S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones all slipped on Monday, with declines compounded by a shift in chip shares and worries over oil exports. On Tuesday, oil prices held the market's attention, with US crude topping $105 a barrel after Saudi Arabia reportedly cancelled some cargoes. The Dow slipped more than 600 points on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve lifted the federal-funds target range to 3-3/4%-4%. Today, US equities closed with chip makers continuing their comebacks and Nvidia's CEO signaling double-year chip sales. The Fed interest-rate decision and US retail sales report were released on Wednesday. Friday lands ahead.
