Summary

  • 26,165 on the Nasdaq marked a 0.88% gain Tuesday, with AI shares recovering and semiconductor stocks posting a second straight day of advances after Friday’s selloff.
  • WTI crude fell more than 3% to below $90 a barrel after Trump said a U.S.-Iran agreement could come within two or three days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Micron jumped nearly 4%, extending a rebound from last week’s roughly 20% slide, while the iShares Semiconductor ETF added another 2% after Friday’s 10% plunge.
  • Morgan Stanley lifted Apple’s price target to $360 from $330 on a faster AI monetization outlook, and UBS kept a Buy on Micron with a $1,625 target.
  • Goldman Sachs and Barclays still warned the calmer session was not an all-clear, citing crowded momentum trades, weak market breadth and higher-for-longer rates as risks for renewed volatility.
