Tech stocks declined with Apple dropping over 6% and Microsoft down 3.5% after both raised prices citing higher memory chip costs driven by AI demand. Micron surged 15% post-earnings but later fell on OpenAI IPO delay news, dragging the Nasdaq to its longest losing streak since February. Federal Reserve officials highlighted inflation as the main concern over the job market, with core inflation rising to its highest since late 2023. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Bayer on pesticide warning claims and allowed Trump to end protections for some immigrants. JPMorgan Chase promoted two co-presidents as part of CEO succession plans. Luxury spending is expected to grow, driven by experiences and family travel trends.
