Wall Street closes higher as Broadcom rallies
Yahoo Finance ·
STORY: U.S. stocks ended higher on Monday, with the Dow adding nearly three-tenths of a percent, the S&P 500 rising more than seven-tenths of a percent and the Nasdaq climbing over 1.2%. Chip stocks rallied as investors bought shares in AI-related companies that are expected to drive a strong second-quarter earnings season. Liz Miller is founder and president of Summit Place Financial Advisors. “One of the things we're seeing in the market, post the real first trading day after second quarter, is the strength of oil retreating and risk-on back in this market. We're seeing strength across the AI trade. We're seeing money going back into tech, including some software that's been questionable through second quarter. So June often is considered not a strong month and ended up being a very strong month. And cash just continues to follow that strength.” Shares of Broadcom jumped more than 3.5% after the chipmaker said Apple agreed to extend a deal through 2031 to develop and supply a range of custom chips, cementing Broadcom's role as a critical supplier to the iPhone maker. :: SK Hynix Meanwhile, South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix on Monday launched a U.S. share sale to raise more than $28 billion in its effort to capitalize on massive investor demand for AI-related stocks. The company is set to debut on the Nasdaq later this week. :: Microsoft Elsewhere in the market, shares of Microsoft slipped after the tech heavyweight said it was cutting more than 2% of its workforce, or roughly 4,800 jobs. And shares of SpaceX dipped 1% with over $26 billion worth of its shares exchanged, most of that in the final seconds of the session. Elon Musk's rocket and AI giant is set to join the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 on Tuesday.
