<body><p>STORY: U.S. stocks ended mixed on Thursday, with the Dow ticking up more than a tenth of a percent, while the S&P 500 closed flat and the Nasdaq dropped nearly half a percent.</p><p>Technology shares reversed early gains to move lower, as investors worried about hyperscaler spending on AI and who foots the bill.</p><p>:: Micron</p><p>Those fears outweighed upbeat signals on AI demand from Micron, which gained nearly 16%, while shares of Sandisk soared 22%.</p><p>Brian Mulberry, chief market strategist at Zacks Investment Management, notes that it's memory chip makers that are now leading the charge. </p><p>"What's different about Micron, SanDisk, Western Digital, those types of names that are doing so well is that they're memory chips. And you have to have memory, specifically DRAM or H-band memory, if you're going to have enough computing power to do all the computations. That is nothing if you don't have memory to transfer it from one place to another. So one of the reasons that these stocks have done so well and the growth at Micron is so solid is because a recent redesign in the server technology means we go from eight memory chips per server to 96. That's 12 times growth in demand for this one simple component."</p><p>The surging prices of memory and storage chips prompted Apple on Thursday to hike prices for its iPads and MacBooks.

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) both posted blockbuster AI infrastructure quarters, but the market reacted in opposite directions. NVIDIA sells the compute. Micron sells the memory that keeps those GPUs fed. Comparing them now makes sense because each just told investors something different about where AI hardware spending actually lands in 2026.

May's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index — the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge — saw inflation rise 0.4% month-over-month and 4.1% year-over-year Core PCE, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.3% monthly and 3.4% annually, marking the highest level since 2023. Morning Brief Host Julie Hyman is joined by Yahoo Finance Tech Editor Dan Howley and Epistrophy Capital Research chief market strategist Cory Johnson to further examine rising price trends.
The Federal Reserve's primary inflation gauge, the core PCE price index, showed the 12-month inflation rate hitting its highest level since October 2023, as Wall Street expected.

And we think it could continue for a while."</p><p>Several tech stocks, however, slid during Wednesday's session, including chip designer Cerebras, which tumbled more than 19%.
