Good MorningBig tech set the tone again as investors parsed mixed earnings and AI enthusiasm that is cooling. Amazon and Apple have outperformed the S&P over the past year but lagged some peers, while NVIDIA shares slipped about $7 to $199.78 as traders took profits after a long AI-driven run. The market was choppy with a rotation between growth and more cyclical names.
Corporate headlines also moved stocks. Norway’s sovereign wealth fund said it will vote against Elon Musk’s proposed Tesla pay package, a governance flashpoint that could pressure TSLA. Pfizer warned U.S. COVID vaccine sales are down roughly 25% after tightened guidance, and a bidding battle in biotech heated up as Novo Nordisk raised its offer for Metsera toward $10 billion, underscoring continued M&A activity in health care.
On the macro side, energy and industrials felt the impact of softer oil prices and Saudi Aramco’s slightly lower quarterly profit, while a U.S. $1.4 billion push into rare earths and an EU-China agreement to stabilize supplies eased some chip and defense supply worries. Auto recalls and legal rulings around AI added further sector-specific risk and opportunity for traders. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
