Good MorningU.S. stocks weakened into the final hour, with the Nasdaq falling sharply as chip stocks led the sell-off and the Dow also retreated. Micron dropped after Samsung’s results triggered pressure across memory names, while ASML and Lam Research also drew attention amid a broader semiconductor pullback.
Company-specific moves were active. Rivian slid after announcing a 75 million-share public offering that could raise about $1.5 billion. Adobe remained under pressure after Bank of America reinstated coverage at Underperform, citing AI-related competitive risks, while Oracle drew a more optimistic view tied to potential AI cloud revenue upside. Amazon’s $25 billion bond sale also highlighted questions around the pace and cost of AI infrastructure spending.
Deal and sector news added to the day’s crosscurrents. Vertex agreed to buy Crinetics for $10 billion to expand in rare endocrine disease, while energy stocks traded higher and Bitcoin reclaimed $64,000 after a brief dip. SpaceX, newly added to the Nasdaq 100, fell despite expected passive fund demand, underscoring that enthusiasm around high-profile growth names remains vulnerable in a risk-off tape.

| From Our Partners | | Gold has surged past $5,300 per ounce, with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan forecasting $6,000+ by end of 2026. Central banks bought a record 863 tonnes in 2025 alone - and one small-cap explorer in Nevada's Walker Lane Belt may be positioned to benefit.
Sitting 18 miles north of Tonopah in the same district that produced over 15 million ounces at Kinross Gold's Round Mountain Mine, this explorer carries historic drill intercepts of 30 meters at 2.5 g/t gold and surface samples exceeding 100 g/t. With a market cap under $15 million and drills ready to turn in H2 2026, the window may be narrow. | | Get the full story on this drill-ready Nevada gold explorer |
