Market News:
Wall Street on Tuesday closed at a
record high for the first time since early June, extending a stellar start to
August following a mostly negative performance in July. After a weeks-long
slide, the artificial intelligence trade has come back to life. Meanwhile,
sliding oil prices and Treasury yields have buoyed sentiment as well.
The spotlight is on the much-anticipated
first quarterly report from Elon Musk’s SpaceX after the closing bell. Also on the docket is AMD,
with its earnings set to provide another catalyst for chip stocks that are
coming off their worst month since the financial crisis.
The benchmark S&P 500 index jumped
1.8% to end at 7,735.13 points, its first record close since June 2. The
blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1.7% to settle at 54,085.94
points, also a record close. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite advanced 2.6% to
conclude at 26,584.99 points.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index - a
key barometer for chip stocks - saw a whopping 20.6% loss in July, its worst
month since October 2008.
But the bleeding was stemmed towards the
end of July, helped by members of the heavyweight Magnificent Seven club.
Investors cheered the quarterly reports of Microsoft and Amazon, with the
former’s stock gaining about $450 billion in value last Thursday in what was
the largest single-day gain in history for a company. Amazon stock surged 15%
on Friday, and continued that momentum into Monday by topping $3 trillion in
market capitalization for the first time.
Analysts and traders have also
identified the saga of Situational Awareness as both a catalyst for the recent
weakness in the AI trade and its rebound. Reports emerged last week that the
hedge fund started by former OpenAI researcher
Leopold Aschenbrenner had sold its entire AI-focused
stock portfolio after steep losses, with Citadel snapping up the assets.
"The combination of Situational
Awareness selling its publicly traded portfolio to Citadel and well-received
earnings from Microsoft and Amazon has created a buying panic throughout most
AI-related companies. The S&P 500 has rallied 5.5% in 4 days led by
Microsoft’s 27% post-earnings gain," Michael O’Rourke, chief market
strategist at Jones Trading, told Investing.com.
"However, it is hard to say the
excitement is justified. Many of the concerns that drove the AI selloff in June
and July remain persistent. AI LLM token prices continue to collapse and are
down nearly 40% since the end of May and hyperscalers
continue to cannibalize their own free cash flow to build data centers," he added.
While technology stocks declined in
July, the S&P 500 was buoyed by rotation into other sectors. An
equal-weighted version of the benchmark index, which lists companies not by
market cap but by a fixed weight, hit a record high as recently as last
Wednesday and gained 0.9% for July.
All eyes on SpaceX
The AI trade will now see a litmus test
from SpaceX and AMD’s quarterly earnings after the
closing bell. Investors will be keen for any insight on the semiconductor boom
from the latter, which is a key rival of Nvidia’s in
the race to develop high-performance AI chips.
But the big story will be SpaceX. Shares of Elon Musk’s
rocket company have been on a roller-coaster ride since their historic $85.7
billion market debut on June 12. After hitting an intraday peak at $225.64 on
June 16, the stock plunged over 50% from that high amid heavy short-selling,
setbacks to key launches, and big spending plans on AI
infrastructure. Against this backdrop, analysts say SpaceX’s
growth story is more important than its quarterly numbers.
Further adding volatility to the
situation, a first lock-up period on SpaceX shares is
set to expire on Tuesday, which would drastically increase the public float and
could fuel more short interest.
"(SpaceX’s)
results will help investors judge whether progress across Starlink,
launch activity, Starship and AI-related investment
can support the scale of expectations already embedded in index
ownership," James Flintoft, head of investment
solutions at AJ Bell, said.
Earnings today: Palantir
soars, Dow gets Caterpillar boost
Looking at Tuesday’s notable
earnings-related moves, Palantir Technologies
rocketed 30% and ended as the top percentage gainer on the S&P 500, after
robust demand from government and commercial customers for its AI software
offerings helped its quarterly revenue nearly double to $1.93 billion.
Caterpillar added 5.6%. The industrial giant, famous for its trademark yellow heavy
machinery such as tractors, generated more than $20 billion in quarterly
revenue for the first time in its history.
McDonald’s ticked up 1.2%. The world’s
largest fast-food chain delivered a mixed report, beating on quarterly profit
but missing consensus on revenue and U.S. comparable sales. Top boss Chris Kempczinski said marketing programs did not deliver against
the company’s expectations.
Two healthcare majors also announced
results. Merck climbed 0.2%, as solid sales of its blockbuster cancer drug Keytruda helped the Dow 30 component deliver a top- and
bottom-line beat. Pfizer rose 1.5%, after the drugmaker
upped its full-year revenue guidance partially due to strong demand for its
blood thinner Eliquis.
