StockMarket update 23/7/2026
— The stock market ended sharply lower on Thursday as investors reassessed the cost of the AI arms race following earnings from Alphabet (GOOG 318.34, -23.57, -6.89%) and Tesla (TSLA 319.60, -54.41, -14.55%), while another surge in oil prices added to inflation concerns and pushed Treasury yields higher. The S&P 500 (-1.2%), Nasdaq Composite (-2.2%), and DJIA (-1.0%) all finished near their session lows, with growth stocks bearing the brunt of the selling pressure.—The market's largest technology companies led the retreat after Alphabet substantially increased its FY26 capital expenditure guidance, raising fresh questions about margins, free cash flow, and how quickly massive AI investments will generate meaningful returns. The announcement also reinforced the notion that other hyperscalers may have little choice but to continue raising AI spending to remain competitive, even as investors become increasingly focused on capital discipline. Tesla added to the cautious tone after pairing a disappointing earnings report with an even more aggressive investment outlook, reinforcing concerns that spending on AI and autonomous vehicle initiatives may continue to outpace near-term profitability. —The shift in sentiment weighed heavily on the market's largest growth stocks, with all seven "Magnificent Seven" components finishing lower and the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF declining 2.4%. The communication services (-5.2%) and consumer discretionary (-5.1%) sectors finished as the weakest-performing sectors, reflecting the outsized declines in Alphabet and Tesla, as well as Amazon (AMZN 233.66, -11.19, -4.57%) and Meta Platforms (META 606.10, -21.07, -3.36%). —Technology shares were not universally weak, however. The information technology sector lost 1.1%, but companies tied to AI infrastructure spending continued to outperform their hyperscaler customers. The PHLX Semiconductor Index slipped just 0.5%. —The day's losses were compounded by another sharp advance in oil prices. Crude oil futures settled $5.24 higher (+6.0%) at $92.09 per barrel after reports of Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea intensified geopolitical concerns. The move extended crude's weekly gain to roughly 13%, lifted Treasury yields across the curve, and prompted investors to further price in the possibility of additional Federal Reserve tightening.—According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets now assign a 35.8% probability of a rate hike at next week's FOMC meeting, up from 11.8% just one week ago. The probability for a September rate hike has increased to 80.1%.—Despite the sharp decline in the major averages, weakness remained significantly more concentrated among the market's largest companies. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index fell just 0.4%, while the Russell 2000 (-0.7%) and S&P MidCap 400 (-0.4%) both outperformed. —Elsewhere, there were several pockets of strength. The industrials sector (+1.8%) led all sectors behind well-received earnings from United Rentals (URI 1139.71, +104.65, +10.11%), Lockheed Martin (LMT 568.59, +54.23, +10.54%), and Thermo Fisher (TMO 572.32, +45.86, +8.71%), while the energy sector (+0.6%) also finished higher as oil prices rallied.—The defensive healthcare (+1.3%) and utilities (+0.5%) sectors also outperformed, with Quest Diagnostics (DGX 227.90, +18.07, +8.61%) surging after a beat-and-raise report of its own.—Ultimately, today's action reflected a market increasingly focused on the economics of the AI buildout. While investors grew more cautious toward the hyperscalers funding those investments, companies tied to AI infrastructure spending generally proved more resilient, even as rising oil prices and higher Treasury yields created a more challenging backdrop for growth stocks as a whole. —U.S. Treasuries continued this week's retreat, sending yields on the 10-year note and shorter tenors to their highest levels since early 2025 while the 30-year yield stopped just shy of its highest level since late 2007. The 2-year note yield settled up six basis points to 4.36%, and the 10-year note yield settled up five basis points to 4.70%.
Russell 2000: +18.5% YTD
S&P Mid Cap 400: +14.0% YTD
S&P 500: +8.2% YTD
Nasdaq Composite: +8.2% YTD
DJIA: +7.6% YTD
—Reviewing today's data:
Weekly Initial Claims 187K (Briefing.com consensus 214K); Prior was revised to 209K from 208K, Weekly Continuing Claims 1.796 mln; Prior was revised to 1.798 mln from 1.805 mln—
The key takeaway from the report is that the low level of initial claims is a signpost of a labor market that continues to see low firing activity, which is a good sign for continued increases in consumer spending.

Update 22/06/2026
— The major averages started this full week of trading that is sandwiched between two holiday-abbreviated weeks on a mostly lower note, with the S&P 500 (-0.4%) and Nasdaq Composite (-1.3%) pressured by weakness across mega-cap stocks while the DJIA (+0.3%) was supported by some rotational gains in the broader market.—Stocks opened mostly higher, supported by reports from both sides that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are progressing measurably, while chipmaker stocks showed an extension of recent strength. However, losses across mega-cap stocks outside the semiconductor space quickly widened, pushing the major averages into mostly lower territory, where they traded in a relatively stable range for the remainder of the session. —Alphabet (GOOG 348.78, -18.68, -5.08%) was one of the worst-performing S&P 500 components, sinking below its 50-day moving average (365.20) after a top engineering executive, John Jumper, decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic. The headline added to lingering concerns over the company's massive AI capital expenditure plans, with the stock now down nearly 8% in June. Meta Platforms (META 563.85, -13.37, -2.32%) also traded lower while Netflix (NFLX 72.88, -4.50, -5.82%) fell to its lowest level since late 2024, and the communication services sector (-3.8%) ended the day as the worst-performing S&P 500 sector. —Amazon's (AMZN 232.79, -11.60, -4.75%)weakness ahead of tomorrow's Prime Day event weighed similarly on the consumer discretionary sector (-2.3%), and the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF finished 1.4% lower. —SpaceX (SPCX 154.60, -30.40, -16.43%) retreated sharply for the third consecutive session, which contributed to the underperformance of the Nasdaq Composite.—Meanwhile, the top-weighted information technology sector had a flat showing today, with Microsoft (MSFT 367.34, -12.06, -3.18%) a "magnificent seven" laggard while NVIDIA (NVDA 208.66, -2.03, -0.96%) also traded lower despite the strength across semiconductor names. —Micron (MU 1211.38, +77.39, +6.82%) was a standout ahead of its earnings release Wednesday evening, while AI-infrastructure names such as Super Micro Computer (SMCI 35.46, +4.80, +15.66%) and Corning (GLW 209.85, +14.93, +7.66%) traded even higher. —Elsewhere, seven S&P 500 sectors traded higher, highlighting some rotational interest across the broader market. The real estate sector (+1.4%) captured the widest gain, while the energy sector (+1.2%) finished similarly despite crude oil retreating today after several sharp retreats last week. —The health care sector (+0.9%) was another outperformer, boosted by a strong showing from AbbVie (ABBV 230.06, +13.57, +6.27%) after the company agreed to acquire Apogee Therapeutics (APGE 132.55, +42.17, +46.66%) for $135.11 per share in cash.—Outside of the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 (+0.8%) and S&P Mid Cap 400 (+0.4%) outperformed, furthering the idea that not all of the money taken out of mega-cap tech today left the stock market entirely.—Overall, today's session was characterized by continued selling pressure across several mega-cap stocks, which obscured otherwise constructive underlying action. Strength across seven S&P 500 sectors and outperformance from both the Russell 2000 and S&P Mid Cap 400 suggest that investors remained engaged in equities, even as leadership continued to shift beneath the surface.—U.S. Treasuries began the week with losses across the curve after a lower start was followed by continued selling as the day went on. Treasuries recorded more than half of their losses at the open after the three-day holiday weekend featured some Friday selling in the futures market. The 2-year note yield settled up five basis points to 4.23%, and the 10-year note yield settled up six basis points to 4.51%.—There was no economic data of note today.
Russell 2000: +21.1% YTD

Update 16/06/2026
— Stocks had a relatively sleepy session on the heels of Monday's rally, with the DJIA (+0.6%) furthering its push into record territory as oil prices continued to fall, while the S&P 500 (-0.6%) and Nasdaq Composite (-1.2%) faced pressure amid a pullback across tech names. —The information technology sector (-2.3%) finished with the widest loss by a considerable margin after posting a 3.4% gain in the previous session. Semiconductor stocks in particular faced some profit-taking, with the PHLX Semiconductor Index (-5.7%) giving back all of yesterday's gains as stocks such as Lumentum (LITE 875.36, -81.88, -8.55%) and Monolithic Power (MPWR 1496.52, -155.77, -9.43%) were among the worst-performing S&P 500 components.—NVIDIA (NVDA 207.42, -5.03, -2.37%) was a "magnificent seven" laggard amid a mostly lower showing across the group, helping drive the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF 1.1% lower. —For much of the session, it appeared that relative weakness across the mega-cap cohort would have little effect on SpaceX (SPCX 202.09, +9.59, +4.98%). After surrendering most of an early advance during the afternoon, the stock found renewed buying interest into the close and extended its powerful post-IPO run.—As tech charted a lower course, the broader market saw some rotational interest that helped soften the tech-inflicted blow on the major averages. Strength in the broader market was once again supported by a retreat in oil prices, as investors remained optimistic that Friday's planned signing of the U.S.-Iran peace agreement will result in a lasting resolution and help keep energy prices contained. Crude oil futures settled today's session $4.84 lower (-6.0%) at $76.06 per barrel, and the energy sector (-0.4%) was the only other S&P 500 sector to finish with a loss wider than 0.1%. —Meanwhile, seven S&P 500 sectors posted gains, led by the financials sector (+1.5%) as falling oil prices eased growth concerns and supported bank stocks. JPMorgan Chase (JPM 331.14, +11.74, +3.68%) was the best-performing Dow component after Bloomberg reported that L3Harris (LHX 310.45, +6.28, +2.06%) selected JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley (MS 220.83, +2.85, +1.31%) to lead a potential $2 billion IPO of its missile unit, Axyv.—Other cyclical sectors were also among today's outperformers. The majority of stocks in the industrials sector (+0.7%) traded higher, while the materials sector (+0.5%) was supported by another solid showing from construction material names as Treasury yields continued to move lower. —Outside of the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 (-0.9%) and S&P Mid Cap 400 (-0.3%) finished lower.—Corporate news flow was on the lighter side again today, though there were a few notable stock-specific moves. Moderna (MRNA 55.39, +3.26, +6.25%) surged in reaction to upbeat pipeline and commercialization updates, while CoreWeave (CRWV 117.03, +10.32, +9.67%) finished with an even wider gain after the company said it delivered the fastest DeepSeek-V3 671B training performance in the benchmark. —Altogether, today's session reflected a pause in the recent technology-led advance rather than a meaningful deterioration in sentiment. Profit-taking across semiconductor and mega-cap names weighed on the major averages, but continued weakness in oil prices helped support rotation into other areas of the market and kept the broader tone constructive. —Attention now turns to tomorrow's FOMC meeting, where the Fed is widely expected to leave rates unchanged, though investors will be closely monitoring the first meeting under Fed Chair Warsh for clues about the policy outlook and how the Committee views the recent improvement in inflation and energy prices.—U.S. Treasuries continued their upbeat start to the week, sending the 30-year yield to its lowest close since late April while yields on the 5 and 10 year note yields recorded their lowest settlements since mid-May as the market remained optimistic that geopolitical tensions with Iran will become a distant memory soon. The Treasury complex climbed past its early highs in mid-morning action, staying near their best levels after the U.S. Treasury sold $22 billion in 20-year bonds to strong demand. The 2-year note yield settled down two basis points to 4.05%, and the 10-year note yield settled down four basis points to 4.43%.

—Reviewing today's data:
May Housing Starts 1.177 mln (Briefing.com consensus 1.440 mln); Prior was revised to 1.392 mln from 1.465 mln, May Building Permits 1.413 mln (Briefing.com consensus 1.410 mln); Prior was revised to 1.423 mln from 1.442 mln
The key takeaway from the report is that the weakness in starts was concentrated on the multi-unit side, as starts there were down 40.2% month-over-month, yet it would be remiss not to mention that single-unit starts in the South-the largest homebuilding region-were down 5.2% month-over-month.
