AI jitters derail tech-led rally as Nasdaq, S&P 500 slip

US stocks slipped on Friday as AI jitters weighed on tech names, with the Nasdaq about 0.2% lower and the S&P 500 marginally down, snapping a two-week win streak; reports that OpenAI may delay its mega-IPO to 2027, along with a memory-chip cost squeeze and hotter-than-expected PCE inflation data, kept the AI trade under pressure, while Micron’s results underscored ongoing squeezes and Apple’s price hikes added to inflation fears. The Dow finished roughly flat for the week as oil prices fell on ongoing Middle East tensions, with Brent near $72 and WTI near $69.

OpenAI IPO delay chatter rattles tech stocks as markets swing

US stocks were volatile on Friday as a New York Times report that OpenAI may delay its mega-IPO weighed on tech shares, leaving the Nasdaq near flat while the Dow and S&P 500 edged higher around 0.1%. Memory-chip cost pressures and Apple's price hikes signaled ongoing device-maker headwinds, with Micron’s earnings hinting the squeeze could persist. The OpenAI delay chatter, coupled with stronger May PCE inflation data, kept rate-hike bets alive, while oil slid about 3% amid Strait of Hormuz tensions.

Gold holds near $5,000 as Iran conflict tests safe-haven demand

Gold stayed near $5,000 an ounce on Tuesday (spot about $5,001.36, US futures around $5,005.20) as the Iran war entered its 18th day. Analysts say the flat move reflects a stronger dollar, expectations the Federal Reserve may pause or raise rates, and gold’s already elevated level earlier this year, along with higher oil prices that could heighten inflation and keep dollar assets attractive. Some observers also note gold is behaving more like a speculative asset than a hedge amid the volatility.

AI Disruption Fears Hover as Markets Prepare for Jobs Data

Markets brace for AI-driven disruption as a busy week unfolds with the February jobs report due March 6 and the tail end of Q4 earnings (Broadcom, retailers); Nvidia’s moves underscore AI-spending risk and the question of who benefits. Investors will weigh whether solid payrolls align with expectations for rate cuts, with February payrolls expected to rise about 60,000 after January’s 130,000.
