Good MorningU.S. stocks moved higher, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow all climbing. Sentiment was helped by reports that the U.S. and Iran agreed to halt tit-for-tat attacks ahead of a Tuesday meeting in Doha, Qatar. Traders also looked ahead to Thursday's jobs report for signals on the economy and interest rates.
Tech remained a key market driver. Cybersecurity names rallied sharply, led by Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike and Okta, while AI-linked shares were mixed. Super Micro Computer fell after reports that Taiwanese authorities raided its offices as part of a probe into alleged smuggling of NVIDIA AI chips to China. Goldman Sachs strategists reportedly expect AI infrastructure and energy profits to support S&P 500 earnings growth.
Company-specific news also moved shares. Concentrix reported second-quarter results within guidance, posting record second-quarter operating cash flow. In crypto-linked equities, Strategy shares rose after unveiling a Bitcoin monetization and capital framework, even as Bitcoin slipped to around $59,000 — staying below the $60,000 level amid recent ETF outflows and elevated demand for downside protection.
