New York, July 9, 2026, 16:07 (EDT) The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 139.05 points, or 0.27%, at 52,487.44 as the main NYSE session ended at 4 p.m. ET. The blue-chip index lagged, with the S&P 500 up 0.81% and the Nasdaq Composite gaining 1.30%. (New York Stock Exchange) The main point isn’t that blue chips bounced, but how little they managed to. The Dow’s gain Thursday recovered just 24% of Wednesday’s 576.76-point drop. That still put the index about 1.5% under its 52-week high from July 7, which was 53,289.30.

New York, July 9, 2026, 16:05 EDT Chip and memory stocks led the late rise, not just the big mega-cap names. Micron increasing its U.S. investment sent buyers back into AI supply chain stocks. The risk now is fuel inflation and the Fed. Oil prices dropped but refined product markets remain tight. U.S. stocks climbed late Thursday as chip and memory stocks rallied, brushing off fresh U.S.-Iran tension. Investors came back to AI names after Wednesday’s drop. The S&P 500 was last up 0.84%, the Nasdaq gained 1.26%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.40%, according to Reuters’ late trade

NEW YORK, July 9, 2026, 15:02 (EDT) Ionis shares fell 23.2% late after Wainua failed to meet the primary endpoint in a big heart-disease trial. The drop was steeper than the rest of biotech, as XBI and IBB traded up. The setback puts investors’ eyes back on Ionis’ launches like TRYNGOLZA, taking attention off a bigger Wainua cardiomyopathy push. Ionis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:IONS) dropped about $3.2 billion in market cap Thursday after its partner AstraZeneca’s (LON:AZN; NASDAQ:AZN) heart drug Wainua missed the primary endpoint in a key late-stage trial. Shares of Ionis traded at $64.83, off 23.2%, as of 2:46 p.m. ET.

Rivian shares traded up 8.9% at $18.14 in the afternoon, sitting about 17% higher than the $15.50 offer price. The move comes after the stock tumbled 18% on Tuesday. (MarketWatch) Rivian will need between 42,441 and 47,441 deliveries in the back half to meet its new 2026 delivery target, roughly double its first-half run rate. (Rivian) Rivian Automotive, Inc.

NEW YORK, July 9, 2026, 14:04 (EDT) Julong jumped 104.3% to $6.25 at 2:01 p.m. EDT, with trading volume around 50 million shares. Trading volume came in about 192 times its 65-day average, MarketWatch data showed. NYSE halt logs showed a Julong LULD pause hit at 09:49:28 ET, signaling the move triggered market volatility controls.

The stock trades on new dilution numbers now: almost 40 million shares went out at closing, with close to 45 million more set for January. Ondas raised its 2026 revenue goal to at least $525 million, up from $390 million, after the DZYNE deal. Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) climbed in busy afternoon trading Thursday.

New York, July 9, 2026, 13:05 EDT nLIGHT jumped roughly 28% early Friday after the company announced its JLWS contract starts at $44 million and could go as high as $627 million. (Business Wire) Government data shows nLIGHT Defense and Lockheed Martin Aculight got $86 million in upfront awards, but nLIGHT’s revealed ceiling is about 74% of the $847 million overall program cap.

NEW YORK, July 9, 2026, 12:09 EDT Opendoor shares rose about 11% near midday, adding roughly $510 million in market value, a large move without a fresh company release showing on its investor page after late May. The rally landed the same day U.S. existing-home sales fell in June, keeping the stock tied to a hard question: can faster home turns offset a still-sticky housing market? Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:OPEN) jumped 11.1% to $5.32 in late-morning trading on Thursday, adding about $510 million in market value — the stock price times shares outstanding — as buyers paid up for a housing-tech

New York, July 9, 2026, 08:01 (EDT) Microsoft stock traded down in premarket, after dropping 1.41% on Wednesday. The company scheduled its fiscal Q4 results for July 29. Azure, Copilot, and AI spending are expected to get attention again. Nasdaq futures ticked up, suggesting the early move was more about Microsoft than the broader index. Microsoft shares were lower before the bell Thursday, as the focus shifted to the company’s earnings due in late July and how much it is spending on AI. The stock traded at $377.67 at 7:42 a.m. EDT, down 1.48%, after closing at $383.34 on Wednesday, Wall

Google has appealed an Indian court ruling involving keyword ads, saying the case could have an impact on competition in digital advertising. U.S. stock futures traded higher ahead of the open, though concerns over oil prices, interest rates and AI spending kept pressure on big tech stocks.

New York, July 9, 2026, 05:37 (EDT) U.S. exchanges planned a normal trading day Thursday. NYSE core trading starts at 9:30 a.m. ET. (New York Stock Exchange) Baker Hughes and Novartis announced more U.S. layoffs, as Microsoft and Coursera kept tech job restructuring on the table. (Houston Chronicle) AI was listed in 31% of U.S. job cut announcements in June, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which tracks layoffs. The firm said artificial intelligence software that automates certain work was a factor.

New York, July 8, 2026, 18:02 (EDT) Morgan Stanley lifted its bull-case target on Rocket Lab to $293, up from $185, though the stock remained far off recent highs. Rocket Lab was the biggest loser among space names Tuesday, but shares were flat late Wednesday. Investors are looking at the $8 billion Iridium deal and Space Force mission wins, but the stock’s high valuation and execution risk on Neutron are in focus. Morgan Stanley raised its best-case price target for Rocket Lab to $293 on Wednesday. The move came a day after Rocket Lab shares were among the biggest losers in

New York, July 10, 2026, 13:08 EDT Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) shares fell 11.3% to $67.91 at 12:53 p.m. EDT on Friday, erasing about $3.4 billion in market value. The vaccine maker had traded as high as $78.47, leaving the stock 13.5% below its intraday peak. The decline puts a sharper focus on Thursday’s European Union announcement. Six countries may order as many as 24 million doses of Moderna’s mRESVIA respiratory syncytial virus vaccine over four years, but the contract sets no minimum purchase. The Commission disclosed neither a price nor a total contract value; a framework agreement sets terms for later

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026, 12:05 EDT The Dow Jones Industrial Average shook off a 221-point slide early Friday, up 119 points by midday in a swing of about 340 points. Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) together pushed the index by an estimated 106 points, close to 90% of the advance, with the Dow at 52,606.76, up 0.23%, based on data delayed at least 15 minutes. (Reuters) This concentration is key because the Dow is price-weighted. A company’s share price, not its market cap, sets its sway on the index. A $1 move from any stock in the Dow shifts the

New York, July 10, 2026, 10:04 (EDT) Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) dropped 2.5% to $109.68 at the start of Friday’s session, lagging behind the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX), which slipped 0.6%. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) added 1.3% while Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) was up 1.7%. Intel was alone in the red as chip stocks traded mixed. The gap matters as Intel heads into its next earnings. The company has to show that its planned manufacturing rebound will line up with sales to outside clients. More of the bull case now comes down to two things: getting stronger in server chips and building up its

New York, July 10, 2026, 10:12 EDT SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHYV) attracted filings from at least 10 fund managers for leveraged or inverse single-stock exchange-traded funds before its first U.S. trade, after pricing a $26.5 billion sale of American depositary receipts, or ADRs — U.S.-traded certificates representing foreign shares — at $149. The price was 2.7% above the three-day average for its Seoul shares; underwriters earned nearly $260 million, or 0.97% of the proceeds. (Reuters) The rush matters because the listing is already spawning a second layer of leverage around the equity, not merely widening SK Hynix’s shareholder base. Eos Energy

London, July 10, 2026, 13:31 (BST) Lloyds Banking Group (LON:LLOY) rose 0.76% to 112.55 pence by 13:20 BST on Friday, with the stock trading almost exactly at the average price paid during the bank’s latest three-day repurchase burst.

New York, July 10, 2026, 08:30 EDT Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) rose 0.2% in Friday’s premarket after a report said the company is looking at always-on live channels and service bundles to offset sluggish viewer engagement. The move comes with Nasdaq 100 futures down 0.3% and Netflix’s Q2 earnings due in six days. (The Wall Street Journal) Timing is key here. Netflix finished Thursday at $75.47, just 6.5% over its 52-week low and down 40.9% from its 52-week high. Engagement — meaning how much and how often people watch — is tied to both keeping members and selling ads, so it’s both a

New York, July 10, 2026, 07:38 EDT Keel Infrastructure Corp. (NASDAQ:KEEL) rose 1.7% to $4.92 in premarket trading on Friday, after gaining 6.1% to $4.84 in the previous session. The shares have recovered 9.0% over two days, though they remain about 34% below the intraday peak of $7.37 reached on June 22. Nasdaq’s regular session had not yet opened. (Google) The pressing question is not whether Keel controls enough potential power. It is how much of that power investors should count before the company signs long-term data-center leases. Based on Thursday’s roughly $2.93 billion market value, a simple equity-value-per-megawatt calculation —

New York, July 10, 2026, 07:39 EDT Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock traded up nearly 2% in premarket action Friday. That builds on Thursday’s 2.65% jump to $144.22, which came even after S&P Global Ratings pushed the company’s credit rating down to BBB-, just above junk. Investors kept buying the shares, even as bond investors asked for more yield. (MarketWatch) It’s important because Oracle’s AI infrastructure push is leaning more on outside funding. At Thursday’s close, a $20 billion at-the-market share sale would mean about 138.7 million new shares, sold into the open market in steps. That would add 4.8% to the June
