Market News:

 

Wall Street searched for direction on Friday and was on track to end the week largely lower, as technology stocks slid. With diplomatic efforts in the Middle East having taken a positive turn and oil prices continuing to slump, the geopolitical risk premium has been effectively removed and market participants have turned their attention squarely back to the high-flying artificial intelligence trade.  It was also a consequential week for the outlook of monetary policy, after key inflation and economic growth data was published on Thursday, followed by improving consumer sentiment indicators on Friday.  

 

US President Donald Trump on Friday accused Iran of violating a ceasefire agreement with the U.S. by launching attack drones at ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, including a cargo vessel that was struck off the coast of Oman on Thursday.

 

President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States will impose a 100% tariff on all imports from countries that levy digital services taxes on American companies, escalating tensions over taxation of U.S. technology firms.

 

US refining capacity decreased by 263,000 barrels per day in 2025, representing a 1.43% decline, according to a report released by the US Energy Information Administration on Friday. The reduction resulted from the planned conversion of a major Houston refinery and the closure of a Los Angeles-area facility.

 

Qualcomm said it plans to use new chip technology developed for data centers in smartphones, which would improve how artificial intelligence runs on mobile devices. Executive Vice President Durga Malladi shared the information in an interview with Semafor.

Opus Genetics Inc (NASDAQ:IRD) shares rose 6.5% on Friday following the announcement that the company will be added to the Russell 3000, Russell 2000, and Russell Microcap indexes.
