SpaceX (SPACEX)
The highly anticipated SpaceX IPO is set for Friday, expected to raise up to $75 billion with a valuation between $1.75 and $2 trillion. Demand from institutional investors has been multiple times the available shares, with retail investors still able to submit orders on some platforms. The IPO is considered the largest and most anticipated of all time, with investors fascinated by Elon Musk's empire of companies including Tesla, Neuralink, X, Boring Co., xAI, and Starlink.
Technology Sector
Tech giants continue to face profit-taking pressure, especially AI-related names. Intel shares surged 11.19% on potential partnerships with Alphabet and NVIDIA, while Nvidia is partnering with SK Hynix on advanced memory technologies. Marvell Technology and Flex were added to the S&P 500, boosting their stock prices significantly. Apple shares dropped 3% after underwhelming AI advancements with Siri. The market is skeptical about AI stocks due to rising bond yields making capital expenditures more expensive.

Market Overview
Stocks closed mixed with Dow, Russell 2000, and S&P 400 in green, while Nasdaq and S&P 500 ended in red but rebounded from intraday lows. Profit-taking on tech and AI names weighed on indexes. Geopolitical tensions with Iran caused volatility but diplomatic efforts continue. Inflation reports are awaited today, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is expected to influence market direction.
Oil Market
Oil prices remain stable below $92 per barrel despite US-Iran tensions and mutual strikes. Increased oil supply from the Middle East, including a large sale by UAE's ADNOC, has prevented a spike in prices.
Economic Indicators
Yesterday's NFIB Small Business Optimism Index was 95.3, slightly below expectations. Existing Home Sales rose to 4.17 million units annualized, beating estimates. Today's key data is the US CPI inflation report, with expectations of a rise to 4.2% from 3.8% last month. The market is sensitive to this data, which could impact tech stocks and Treasury yields.
Geopolitical Developments
US launched self-defense strikes against Iran following an Iranian drone downing a US Apache helicopter. Both pilots were rescued. President Trump indicated a strong deal with Iran could be reached soon, supporting hopes for a diplomatic resolution.
