Markets Retreat From Highs as Oil Rebounds and Chip Selloff Hits Tech

Volatile moves across energy and technology shift attention to the U.S. jobs report.

Overview

  • U.S. stocks fell Thursday from fresh records after oil prices rebounded and Treasury yields edged higher.
  • The Dow lost about 313 points as the S&P 500 slipped 0.38% and the Nasdaq eased 0.13%, reversing part of the week’s gains.
  • Semiconductor shares weighed on tech, with Arm down roughly 10% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index off 2.72%.
  • Crude turned higher, with Brent back above $100 and WTI near $96 after Iranian media reported missile strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping lane.
  • President Trump said talks with Iran continue and a ceasefire remains in force, so investors are watching oil headlines and the U.S. payrolls report for the next cue.
