The biggest moves
Sandisk Corporation leads the S&P 500's gainers, up more than 15%, alongside Bloom Energy Corporation, Dell Technologies, Micron Technology and Lumentum Holdings, each up double digits; none of these moves was explained by a story in our research, so we note only that the stocks are rising. By market value, Nvidia added the most, up 3.62% for a gain of about $155.73 billion, followed by Micron Technology's $103.06 billion gain, while Microsoft was the largest decliner in dollar terms, down 2.52% for a loss of about $101.83 billion; Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc. also added tens of billions in value. Among the session's biggest percentage decliners, Airbnb, Microsoft, Brown-Forman, Leidos and NVR, Inc. are all lower, though no source in our research gave a reason for any of these declines.
Barrons reported that inflation worries have revived concern over Federal Reserve rate hikes even as stocks get what the outlet called an AI-driven lift, and the Wall Street Journal reported that stronger-than-expected inflation data and comments from Fed governor Christopher Waller have raised expectations for a rate increase in December, with some participants anticipating a half-point move.
