The Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.1% to 26,896.7, after trading lower earlier in the session.All sectors but technology and consumer staples rose.

Shares of Micron Technology (MU), Arm (ARM), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) were among the worst performers in a group of companies with a market capitalization of more than $200 billion, according to data compiled by Finviz.In geopolitical news, Hezbollah on Thursday rejected the latest ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Lebanese government, demanding a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon as more fighting there hampered efforts to end the Iran war, the Associated Press reported.This comes as the House on Wednesday approved a war powers resolution that would halt US military action against Iran, according to a separate Associated Press report. If the resolution were to pass in the Senate, where 50 of 100 senators have appeared to support it, US President Donald Trump would be required to either withdraw troops from Iran or gain approval from Congress for the war, according to an analysis from CNN.The White House, which has signaled it believes the underlying law is unconstitutional, could try to ignore the resolution, per CNN.West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures slumped 3% to $93.14, and Brent crude futures dropped 2.7% to $95.18.

US Equity Indexes Mixed as Communication Services, Tech Help Outweigh Impact of Hot Producer Prices

US equity indexes closed mixed on Wednesday, as communication services and technology led sectors amid the fastest annual pace of growth in producer prices in four years, signaling the strength of the so-called AI trade.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1% to 49,693.20. The Nasdaq jumped 1.2% to 26,402.34, and the S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to 7,444.25.In a broadly positive tape, communication services, technology, and consumer discretionary were among the top gainers. Utilities, financials, real estate, and industrials declined.Of the top 10 companies with a market capitalization of more than $200 billion, implying a significant sway over indexes, seven were from technology and communication services, according to data compiled by Finviz. Nasdaq's leaders included Marvell Technology (MRVL), Arm (ARM), and Micron Technology (MU). In the S&P 500, ON Semiconductor (ON) and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) were among the biggest outperformers. Nvidia (NVDA) and Cisco (CSCO) were in the top five gainers on the Dow.In economic news, the Producer Price Index soared 1.4% month-over-month in April from a 0.7% gain in March, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The print beat the 0.5% increase expected in a Bloomberg-compiled survey. After excluding food and energy prices, core PPI surged 1.0% from 0.2%, above the 0.3% advance anticipated.Year-over-year, PPI soared 6.0% in April while core PPI catapulted 5.2%, both above their respective March rates and the strongest readings since December 2022.A hotter-than-expected PPI, coupled with Tuesday's larger-than-expected rise in the consumer price index, underscores not only the price impact already realized but the "additional inflationary pressures still coming down the pipeline," according to a Stifel note.With energy cost passthrough likely to keep year-over-year core personal consumption expenditures, or PCE, inflation closer to 3% than 2% all year, Goldman Sachs said in a note that lower monthly inflation prints after the oil shock fades and further labor market softening will likely be needed for Fed rate cuts this year."We now expect it to take a bit longer to meet that bar," the investment bank said while pushing back the final two rate cuts in its forecast to December 2026 and March 2027.US Treasury yields were mostly down, with the 10-year steady to slightly lower at 4.47%.The two-year slipped 1.5 basis points to 3.98%.Meanwhile, in its closely watched Oil Market Report, the International Energy Agency said the loss of Persian Gulf supply is depleting global inventories at a record pace. Inventories fell by 129 million barrels per day in March and by 117 million bpd in April, though rising output from producers outside of the Gulf is helping to ease the supply shock."With Hormuz tanker traffic still restricted, cumulative supply losses from Gulf producers already exceed 1 billion barrels with more than 14 mb/d of oil now shut in, an unprecedented supply shock," the agency said.Nevertheless, West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures fell 0.9% to $101.29, and Brent crude futures declined 1.8% to $105.81.In precious metals, gold futures rose 0.3% to $4,696.2, and silver futures jumped 3.1% to $88.27.

The document was shared with CNN by the Lloyds List and another shipping industry source who wished to remain anonymous, according to the news report.The Trump administration is looking to restart an operation to guide commercial ships through Hormuz with naval and air support as early as this week, after Saudi Arabia and Kuwait lifted restrictions on US access to their bases and airspaces, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing Pentagon officials.Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic is reviewing messages from Pakistan, which is mediating peace negotiations with Washington, but Tehran "has not yet reached a conclusion, and no response has been given to the U.S. side," the Associated Press cited Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei on state TV.West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures rose 1.8% to $96.81, while Brent crude futures slipped 0.4% to $100.83, off session lows when declines hit more than 3% each.US Treasury yields turned the corner, leaning higher after midday, compared with a move down across most of the maturities earlier in the session.

The two previous highs were 105,441 job cuts recorded in April 2025 and 671,129 in April 2020, the global outplacement firm added."Technology companies continue to announce large-scale cuts and are leading all industries in layoff announcements. They are also often citing AI spend and innovation. Regardless of whether individual jobs are being replaced by AI, the money for those roles is," said Andy Challenger, workplace expert and chief revenue officer for Challenger, Gray & Christmas.US initial jobless claims rose to 200,000 in the week ended May 2 from an upwardly revised 190,000 in the previous week, compared with expectations for 205,000 in a survey of analysts compiled by Bloomberg.

ARM to Benefit From Agentic AI-Driven CPU Growth, RBC Says

ARM (ARM) is positioned to benefit from agentic artificial intelligence-driven CPU growth and there is room for upside potential as supply constraints ease, RBC Capital Markets said in a Thursday research note.The company has line of sight to more than $2 billion in AGI CPU revenue across fiscal 2027 and 2028, but it maintained its prior outlook because of wafer and memory supply constraints, according to the brokerage.In fiscal Q4, data center and cloud AI royalty revenue more than doubled from a year earlier on the ramp of ARM-based server chips across major hyperscalers. The data center segment is on track to become the company's largest business segment, analysts wrote.For fiscal 2027 and 2028, RBC said it now expects EPS of $2.18 and $3.12, respectively, from prior estimates of $2.01 and $3.03, according to the note.Growth in AI cluster sizes is also driving demand for networking, where ARM remains the dominant architecture. The company's 20% long-term growth rate for royalties is likely conservative, according to the note.RBC reiterated its outperform rating on the stock and boosted its price target to $260 per share from $175.Shares of ARM were down more than 9% in Thursday trading.Price: $215.08, Change: $-22.23, Percent Change: -9.37%

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our target to $250 from $180, on a higher revised P/E of about 90x our CY 27 EPS estimate of $2.79, above peers given growth prospects. After posting largely in-line Mar-Q results and Jun-Q guidance, we maintain our FY 27 (Mar.) EPS estimate at $2.18 and start FY 28 at $3.06. We believe that ARM's strategic expansion from a pure-play IP company into a silicon provider with the launch of the Arm AGI CPU in late March has the potential to significantly increase its market opportunity. This new product, aimed at the Agentic AI market, has seen explosive initial interest, with customer demand doubling to over $2 billion for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 since its announcement just weeks prior. Supply constraints could limit the trajectory of Arm AGI sales early on, but we think this initiative offers explosive growth potential in our out year estimates (CY 28 through CY 30). Despite $25B revenue and $9 EPS target by decade end, we think valuation (28x on a 2030 basis) already discounts much of this growth.
