Good MorningMost U.S. stocks edged higher as the S&P 500 added about 0.2% and the Dow rallied 1.2% to a fresh record, while the Nasdaq lagged after NVIDIA sagged during the session. NVIDIA was among the most actively traded names as investors absorbed news that SoftBank sold its entire stake in the chipmaker for roughly $5.8 billion in October as it pivots toward investments such as OpenAI. The split performance kept markets volatile as headlines around AI continued to move sentiment.
Leadership remained divided: cyclical and large-cap industrials boosted the Dow to new highs, while tech and semiconductor stocks showed mixed performance. The broader theme of AI-driven data center buildouts persists, but picks-and-shovels suppliers and some memory-equipment names are drawing attention as alternative ways to play the cycle.
Policy and macro developments also influenced flows. The White House’s proposal to back 50-year mortgages drew criticism and highlighted ongoing concerns about housing affordability that could impact consumer and financial stocks. Oil futures rose roughly $1 to about $61 a barrel, offering modest support to energy names as global political and trade developments keep investors cautious.
