Market News:
Wall Street on Thursday ended lower as
oil prices climbed after a media report said an Iranian and Omani framework to
reopen the Strait of Hormuz would prohibit passage of U.S. vessels until
compensation was paid. Reports also said Iran had attacked some targets in the
vital waterway.
Investors had already taken a beat
earlier after a stellar start to August this week. The technology sector eked
out a gain, but the advance was capped by renewed concerns around the
artificial intelligence trade. Chip stocks gained, but memory storage providers
Sandisk and Western Digital fell after their
quarterly results.
Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields also put
pressure on stocks a day ahead of a closely-watched nonfarm payrolls report
which could give further cues about monetary policy
outlook.
The benchmark S&P 500 index shed
0.2% to close at 7,710.08 points, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average
slid 0.9% to settle at 53,885.16 points, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite
declined 0.1% to finish at 26,348.35 points.
Tech today: Memory sell-off, Google bond
sale, and SpaceX lock-up expiry
The technology sector remained in the
spotlight on Thursday, having been a key driver of both Wall Street’s middling
performance in July and its rebound at the end of that month.
Sandisk and Western Digital saw a negative session with
losses of 6.8% and 13%, respectively. Both companies delivered quarterly top-
and bottom-line beats, but their guidance failed to live up to sky-high
expectations set by the furious rallies in their stocks heading into the
earnings.
Outsized demand for data storage because
of the AI boom had significantly benefited both firms. Western Digital largely
focuses on traditional hard disk drives, while Sandisk,
which WDC spun out in 2025, focuses on NAND flash memory and solid state drives.
The former’s stock had jumped 153% YTD ahead of the latest quarterly report,
while the latter had seen a whopping 414% YTD jump.
The weakness in their shares had earlier
bled into Asian trade, with South Korean memory chipmakers Samsung Electronics
and SK Hynix tumbling and dragging down the broader
KOSPI index. Japan’s Nikkei 225 also fell.
Elsewhere in the tech space, class A shares of Alphabet fell 1.3%. The Google-parent is
expected to price a massive 10-part bond sale on Thursday, with Bloomberg News
reporting that the tech titan was looking to fetch as much as $25 billion. The
behemoth, along with fellow so-called hyperscalers
Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, is raising money in order to sustain the billions
of dollars being poured into AI infrastructure.
Oil climbs as report says Iran-Oman
Hormuz plan to prohibit U.S. passage
Turning to the Middle East, market
participants remained on watch for any headlines about a framework between Iran
and Oman to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Fars News said the initial text
of the Hormuz plan was under review by authorities, citing parliament member Alireza Salimi. According to the
plan, passage of U.S., Israeli, and other hostile vessels through the vital
waterway would be prohibited until compensation was paid, Fars said.
The news agency separately reported that
according to the plan, entry into the strait would be through the northern
corridor near the Iranian coast and exit would be through the southern corridor
near the Oman coast, citing an informed source in the foreign ministry. After a
specified deadline, transit through both corridors would be stopped and would
instead take place through a middle corridor, with Iran managing the entry and
jointly managing the exit with Oman.
If true, these aspects of the plan would
most likely be unacceptable to Washington. Oil prices hit session highs after
the headlines, then later scaled fresh peaks after
Fars News reported that Iran had struck hostile targets in the Strait of
Hormuz. Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, citing informed
courses, said two explosions heard on Qeshm Island
were tied to action against the targets near the entrance of the chokepoint.
Brent crude futures, the global oil
benchmark, were last up 4.5% to $83.04 a barrel.
President Donald Trump earlier this week
said he had called off a powerful planned attack against Iran due to progress
towards a deal, while warning that Washington was "ready to go" if an
agreement was not reached. Both sides have engaged in a cycle of threats,
attacks, and concessions since the onset of their war in late-February.
Trump on Wednesday was asked what made
him think this time was different in terms of Iran holding up their end of a
deal, to which he said: "It may be, it may not
be."
"In life, they know when you’re
ready to go and when you’re just bluffing. We were ready to go — and we are
ready to go if we have to do that," the president added.
Jobs report in focus amid mixed data
Away from the Middle East and back at
home, watchers of monetary policy were looking ahead to Friday’s July nonfarm
payrolls report for cues on interest rates. Labor
market indicators this week have been mixed so far.
U.S. job openings growth in June came in
lower than expected and moderated from May. Separately, private employment
growth in July arrived softer than anticipated and decelerated from June. On
the other hand, the number of Americans filing for initial jobless claims
remained below 200k for a third straight week, a streak not frequently seen since
the late 1960s.
