How the market has changed since the opening bell
The morning began with a dip. Early trading had the S&P 500 down 0.32% and the Nasdaq down 0.49%, with the VIX up 8.52% at 18.98. The VIX is Wall Street's fear gauge, and it rises when traders pay more for protection against swings.
By midday most of that had reversed. The S&P 500 is now in positive territory and the VIX sits at 17.71, below its early reading, though still slightly above Wednesday's close of 17.49.
The Nasdaq is the one still lagging. It is at 25,449.92, down 0.06%, and below its 52-week high of 27,599.79. The S&P 500 is 11.43% higher this year but has lost 2.27% over the past month.
Which stocks are doing the heavy lifting
Chip names are among the biggest gainers on the Nasdaq and NYSE. Arm Holdings is up 12.05% at $203.36, Micron is up 11.89% at $811.30 and Marvell is up 9.33%. On the NYSE, Oracle has gained 8.82%, Arista Networks 6.3% and TSMC 4.25%.
On the other side, Airbnb is down 3.09%, McDonald's down 2.61%, Lululemon down 2.65% and Microsoft down 2.26%.
What the bond market and the dollar are saying
The 10-year yield has climbed to 5.097%, up from 4.998% at the last close. Yields rise when bond prices fall, so this means buyers are demanding more to hold government debt.
The dollar is firmer. The Dollar Index is at 103.167, the euro is down 0.28% at $1.1059 and the pound is down 0.31% at $1.3235. The Australian dollar is the weakest of the group, down 0.6% at $0.6811. The dollar is flat against the yen at 159.712.
How metals and crypto are faring
Gold is the standout mover outside stocks. Spot gold is down 2.86% at $3,872.94 an ounce, silver is down 3.86% at $49.995 and copper is down 1.46% at $6.198 a pound.
Bitcoin has slipped 2.73% to $71,910.60. Ethereum is down 2.1% at $2,010.44 and Solana is down 2.21% at $81.45.
Energy is moving the other way. Brent crude is up 2.07% at $94.68 a barrel and WTI is up 1.34% at $87.69. Natural gas is up 2.77% at $3.304.
How the rest of the world is doing
