U.S. stocks ended Thursday higher, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining more than 500 points, or about 1.1%, while the S&P 500 rose roughly 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite edged up about 0.1%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq snapped three-session losing streaks as investors rotated out of major technology names and into other parts of the market. In early trading Friday, S&P 500 futures were just above flat, Nasdaq-100 futures were down 0.1% and Dow futures were up 31 points, or about 0.1%. Despite Thursday’s rebound, the S&P 500 was down nearly 1% and the Nasdaq more than 2% for the week, while the Dow was on track to gain about 1%. AI-related stocks, particularly memory-chip companies, faced pressure amid concerns about competition from China and borrowing for AI infrastructure. Micron Technology was headed for a weekly decline of more than 9%, while CoreWeave was on track to lose 15%. Inflation also remained in focus: wholesale inflation posted its biggest gain since 2022, consumer inflation remained well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and elevated energy prices followed the U.S.-Iran war. Investors were looking ahead to earnings from Travelers and Citizens Financial due before Friday’s market open.
