- Nasdaq rose at the start of a busy week for tech stocks, with rebounds in AI names lifting broader US indexes, according to WSJ and AP News headlines.
- Dow dipped while the Nasdaq jumped and chip stocks rallied, with Micron bouncing — coverage from Investor's Business Daily flagged Trump's comments as a catalyst in the session.
Why it matters: A split tape between the Dow and Nasdaq means traders are rotating back into tech and AI specifically, not risk-on broadly; with a 'busy week' of tech catalysts ahead, index direction hinges on whether AI momentum holds into earnings and data prints.
