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.

Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, recaps a volatile week as the S&P 500 declined amid weakness across mega-cap and AI-linked names. A growing divide within the AI trade emerged, with hyperscalers and software under pressure while memory and chip suppliers saw sharp swings. Despite index weakness, market internals held firm, with eight sectors higher and small caps outperforming. Rotation into Healthcare and Financials accelerated alongside falling oil prices, easing yields, and shifting Fed expectations. Focus now turns to quarter-end flows, key data including payrolls, and evolving AI spending 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. S&P 500 futures are solidly higher early Thursday after a three-session losing streak sparked in part by the prospect for tighter monetary policy under new Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh. Rate-hike expectations have sent the U.S. dollar surging to its highest level in more than a year, even as prospects for rate hikes by other global central banks have faded with tumbling oil prices.
Bond yields dropped and stocks kept rising after the Federal Reserve’s benchmark inflation gauge matched expectations. The core personal expenditures price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices and is watched closely by the central bank, rose at a 0.

Two of the biggest U.S. investment banks see increasing risks tied to Federal Reserve rate forecasts, an uneasy peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran, and questions over the fate of the artificial intelligence investment wave—but remain bullish. Markets will tangle with resurgent inflation, AI capital expenditure concerns and a hawkish Fed over the next six months, the team said, but its broader earnings thesis is still likely to take the to around 7800 points by the end of the year.
Stocks could be facing the end-of-quarter reckoning many investors feared when Elon Musk’s SpaceX unveiled plans for its multibillion-dollar initial public offering and Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh took over the central bank’s policy reigns earlier this month. The early signs of a late June “tech wreck” started to formulate Monday, with Google parent Alphabet shedding more than $225 billion in market value, its biggest slump in more than a year, and SpaceX extending its three-day decline to more than $600 billion. Shares in SpaceX were falling 4.3% in premarket trading Tuesday, putting them below $150 a share.
