Stocks break their four-day slide; Nvidia rises in post-market trading after crushing earnings estimates
After wavering, the S&P 500 closed higher to break its four-day slide. The Nasdaq 100 also advanced, as tech was the best-performing sector ETF. The Russell 2000 was slightly down.
While the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release September jobs data tomorrow, BLS announced it canceled the October jobs report. Meanwhile, the minutes from October’s Fed meeting showed a divide among policy makers, adding to traders’ skittishness. The odds of no rate cut in December now stand at 66%, a stark shift from yesterday’s 50-50 split.
Stocks that moved higher:
Alphabet surged today on positive reception of Gemini 3, which was released yesterday.
GE Vernova jumped after the company signed a dealto supply 25 repower upgrade kits to Taiwan Power Company, its first wind repower upgrade contract outside the US.
Oklo rose aftersigning a contract with Siemens Energy to accelerate progress on its advanced fission power plant.
Unity Software climbed on news of a partnership with its biggest development rival, “Fortnite”-maker Epic Games.
Google’s stock is up maybe because Gemini 3 is good and its powered mostly by Google’s TPUs — or, maybe, because Alphabet’s about to launch a vending machine business.
As you might expect, tablets, laptops, and other school-issued tech are relied on less heavily in elementary schools, with a healthy majority of students spending less than 1 hour a day on devices in the classroom, according to their teachers. Older kids, however, spend more time with devices in school. Per the most recent Pew Research Center figures, the average school day is around 6 hours in the US, meaning that the 40% of middle and high school students spend about half the school day on devices.
