Benzinga Bulls and Bears: Alphabet, Micron, Nike
Benzinga examined the prospects for many investors’ favorite stocks over the last week — here’s a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. stocks ended the week mixed as a weaker-than-expected September jobs report eased concerns about another Federal Reserve rate hike, helping technology shares rebound. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% for the week and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.5%. The Nasdaq 100 reached a record high Friday after employers added just 29,000 jobs in September, far below the roughly 90,000 economists expected, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%.
AI and semiconductor stocks remained key sources of strength.
Micron Technology Inc.
(NASDAQ:
delivered results and outlook that reinforced investor enthusiasm for AI-related chip demand, with the company citing $32 billion in customer commitments under supply agreements.
(NASDAQ:
and other chip stocks rallied as Treasury yields eased Thursday and then fell following Friday’s weak employment data. Meanwhile, softer inflation data earlier in the week also supported technology shares, although the broader market remained constrained by elevated borrowing costs and volatile oil prices.
The jobs report shifted the near-term rate outlook sharply. Traders moved to price in roughly an 80% probability that the Fed would leave rates unchanged at its October meeting, compared with 74% before the report, while Treasury yields initially declined before rebounding later Friday. The 10-year yield had reached a 24-year high above 5.3% earlier in the week, reflecting concerns over inflation, government borrowing and higher energy prices.
