Stocks are seeing support again today as reports circulate that a preliminary US-Iran peace agreement could be signed as early as this weekend, ending the military hostilities, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and ending the US blockade on Iran and its oil exports.  Negotiations would then begin on the more intractable issues, such as sanctions against Iran, the release of $24 billion of frozen Iranian assets, and the resolution of Iranian nuclear issues.  Iran claimed it would continue to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz even after a new ceasefire agreement.Join 200K+ Subscribers: Find out why the midday Barchart Brief newsletter is a must-read for thousands daily.

Stocks surged on Thursday after President Trump said he canceled planned military strikes against Iran, citing "discussions" with Iranian leadership.  He added that a "time and place of the signing" of a negotiated end to the war would "be announced shortly," and the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz "will remain in full force and effect until this transaction is finalized."

WTI crude oil prices (CLN26) are down more than -1% today on hopes for a near-term US-Iran agreement and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Tech stocks are being undercut today by weakness in chip and software stocks.

In some positive news for stocks, the University of Michigan’s US Consumer Sentiment index rose +4.1 to 48.9, which was stronger than expectations for a rise to 46.0.

The markets are waiting to see how SpaceX will open for trading today after its IPO on Thursday.  Nasdaq says the shares will be released for quotation at 9:50 AM ET today, but it may take some time for regular trading to begin.

The markets are discounting a 4% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.

Overseas stock markets are higher today.  The Euro Stoxx 50 is up +1.4%.  China's Shanghai Composite closed up +1.12%.  Japan’s Nikkei-225 Stock Average closed up +2.81%.

Interest Rates

September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) today are down -8 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield is up +3.2 bp at 4.493%.  T-notes are seeing weakness today as the 10-year inflation expectations rate is up +0.7 bp at 2.313%, despite today’s drop in oil prices.  The T-note market remains worried about inflation pressures, which are likely to remain sticky even after the Strait of Hormuz reopens.  The T-note market has some carry-over weakness from Thursday, when demand was lackluster for the Treasury’s 30-year bond auction.

On Thursday, the ECB, as expected, raised the deposit facility rate by +25 bp to 2.25% from 2.00% and said, "The outlook remains uncertain, with upside risks for inflation and downside risks for economic growth." Swaps are discounting a 37% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on July 23.

US Stock Movers

Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SPCX), doing business as SpaceX, is expected to begin trading this morning after raising a record $75 billion in its IPO on Thursday.  The stock is expected to open substantially above its IPO price of $135.  The IPO was more than four times oversubscribed, indicating strong demand for the stock.  A strong showing by SpaceX today would be positive for investor sentiment and could help the upcoming IPOs for AI companies Anthropic and OpenAI.

Space-linked stocks are trading lower despite the SpaceX debut, with EchoStar (SATS) down more than -6%, and Rocket Lab (RKLB) down more than -5%.

Chip stocks are trading mostly lower today after Thursday’s sharp rally, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) trading slightly lower after Thursday’s rally of +8.39%.  Thursday’s rally was sparked by signs that AI spending is continuing after Oracle reported quarterly capital expenditures that were higher than expected, driven by increased data center spending.  Chip leaders today include AMD (AMD) and Intel (INTC), with gains of more than +3%.

Adobe (ADBE) is down more than -8% after CFO Dan Durn said he would leave the company on June 15, following news earlier this year that Adobe’s CEO would resign.  The Adobe news put continued downward pressure on software stocks, which were undercut on Thursday by negative earnings news from Oracle (ORCL).  ServiceNow (NOW), Atlassian (TEAM), and Workday (WDAY) are all trading down by more than -3%.

Airline stocks are seeing continued support after oil prices today moved lower, adding to Thursday’s decline.  United Airlines (UAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) are trading up more than +0.5%.

Energy stocks and service providers are mixed despite today’s continued slump in oil prices.  Baker Hughes is down more than -1%, but Occidental Petroleum (OXY) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC) are up more than +1%.

Astera Labs (ALAB), CoreWeave (CRWV), Nebius Group (NBIS), Rocket Lab (RKLB), and Teradyn (TER) are seeing support today after Nasdaq announced on Thursday that those stocks will join the Nasdaq 100 Index, effective at the market open on June 22.  Stocks leaving the Nasdaq 100 include Charter Communications (CHTR), Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH), Insmed (INSM), Verisk Analytics (VRSK), and Zscaler (ZS).

Travelers (TRV) is down more than -1% after Barclays cut its rating on the stock to underweight from equal-weight due to a downbeat outlook for profits in the property and casualty sector.

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB), Astera Labs (NASDAQ:ALAB), CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS), and Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) are joining the Nasdaq-100 on June 22, knocking out Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR), Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH), Insmed (NASDAQ:INSM), Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ:VRSK), and Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS) in the quarterly rebalance. Rocket Lab jumped 6.54% in premarket, Nebius gained 4.44%, CoreWeave added 3.30%, and Astera Labs rose 3.14%.

The five additions reflect the index's growing tilt toward AI infrastructure and space technology. CoreWeave and Nebius are both AI cloud providers, while Astera Labs designs high-speed connectivity chips for AI data centers. Rocket Lab has emerged as a leading small satellite launch provider. The inclusions follow Marvell Technology's addition to the S&P 500, also effective June 22, as benchmark rebalances increasingly favor AI-linked names.

SpaceX, set to begin trading Friday under SPCX, could eventually land in the index too once it clears eligibility requirements. The June 22 rebalance also coincides with Marvell Technology joining the S&P 500 on the same date.

Nasdaq (NDAQ) said it will add CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS), Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB), Astera Labs (NASDAQ:ALAB) and Teradyne (TER) to the Nasdaq-100 index, a move that is likely to prompt fresh buying from index-tracking funds, according to a Wednesday exchange notice.

The changes will take effect before the market opens on June 22 as part of Nasdaq's quarterly rebalance. The index, which holds 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the exchange, is reviewed regularly to keep its membership in line with eligibility rules.

Shares of CoreWeave, Nebius, Rocket Lab, Astera Labs and Teradyne jumped in after-hours trading after the news. CoreWeave edged higher 4%, while Nebius climbed about 5%, Rocket Lab rose nearly 9%, Astera Labs surged more than 11% and Teradyne added about 10%.

Companies leaving the Nasdaq-100 are Charter Communications, Cognizant Technology, Insmed, Verisk Analytics and Zscaler. Being added to the Nasdaq-100 can lift trading volume because funds and ETFs that track Nasdaq (NDAQ) often adjust holdings to match the new lineup.

Nasdaq's latest reshuffle of the Nasdaq-100 (NDX [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NDX]) appears to favor some of the market's strongest performers, with the five incoming companies significantly outperforming the five names set to leave the index.

Among the additions, Nebius Group (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]) leads with a 165.5% gain year-to-date, followed by Astera Labs (ALAB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ALAB]) at 120.9%, Teradyne (TER [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/TER]) at 97.0%, Rocket Lab (RKLB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/RKLB]) at 64.5%, and CoreWeave (CRWV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CRWV]) at 33.7%.

By contrast, Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]) is down 44.4%, Zscaler (ZS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ZS]) has fallen 43.9%, Cognizant (CTSH [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CTSH]) is lower by 38.3%, Charter Communications (CHTR [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CHTR]) has declined 33.4%, and Verisk Analytics (VRSK [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/VRSK]) is down 18.6%.

The rebalance also highlights a notable split between Seeking Alpha's Quant Ratings and analyst sentiment. As per the Quant model, Nebius (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]) is the only Strong Buy-rated stock among the 10 additions and deletions, while Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]) is the lone Sell-rated name. However, Wall Street analysts remain overwhelmingly positive on Insmed, with both Seeking Alpha analysts and Wall Street assigning Strong Buy ratings. More broadly, Wall Street maintains Buy ratings on eight of the 10 companies, compared with just one Strong Buy and eight Holds from the Quant system.

NASDAQ-100 ADDITIONS:

* Nebius (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]): Quant - Strong Buy | Wall Street - Buy | YTD +165.5%
* Astera Labs (ALAB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ALAB]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD +120.9%

* Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]): Quant - Sell | Wall Street - Strong Buy | YTD -44.4%

The latest rebalance highlights Nasdaq's increasing exposure to AI, semiconductor, cloud infrastructure, and space-related themes, while removing several stocks that have lagged both the broader market and the index's newest entrants in 2026.

CrowdStrike (CRWD): Eine großartige Firma, aber ein furchtbares Preisniveau. Die Wachstumsraten sind real, der Cashflow ist ausgezeichnet und der AI-Sicherheitswind sieht dauerhaft aus. Aber bei einem EBITDA von 156,9x Earnings und 31,9x Umsatz ist das Aktienkurs in Jahren perfekter Ausführung angelegt. Jeder Stolpern könnte zu einer schweren Abwärtsspirale führen.

(Bloomberg) -- Cloud-computing giants powering the artificial intelligence boom are tapping global debt markets to fund hundreds of billions of dollars needed for data centers, chips and other infrastructure. Junk-rated CoreWeave Inc. is now following their lead.

The company is seeking to raise the equivalent of $3.55 billion in US and European debt markets, including what would be the first euro-denominated junk-bond offering by a US AI infrastructure company. A big portion of the offering will be in euros, €2 billion ($2.3 billion), while the dollar portion will be $1.25 billion, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.

CoreWeave is pitching six-year notes at yields between 8.5% and 8.75% for the euro tranche and about 9.75% for the dollar tranche, according to the people. JPMorgan Chase & Co. is leading the offering, the person said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private.

A representative for CoreWeave declined to comment.

The euro book has attracted significant demand, with more than €7 billion in orders already, one of the people said. It is attracting interest from most of the main high-yield buyers in Europe including real money accounts, hedge funds, credit funds and even some CLOs all looking to invest in what is expected to be one of the few deals in this space in Europe, they added.

“European investors have been looking for ways to gain exposure to the AI buildout, but opportunities of this scale and quality have been scarce,” said Hashem Shubber, JPMorgan’s managing director of leveraged finance capital markets.

The deal underscores how US companies building AI infrastructure are broadening their funding sources, accessing investor demand for exposure to the boom in markets from Canada to Japan.

Alphabet Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. have together raised the equivalent of $77 billion in non-dollar bond markets since the start of last year. Those issuers, however, all enjoy investment-grade ratings while CoreWeave is rated Ba3 by Moody’s Ratings, B+ by S&P Global Ratings and BB- by Fitch Ratings. CoreWeave’s offering will provide an early test of investor appetite for riskier AI-linked credits outside of the US.

CoreWeave, which rents out computing power and provides software to run AI applications, has quickly ramped up spending to add capacity. The company is expected to invest almost $35 billion and burn nearly $26 billion in cash this year, according to the average of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

Concerns about CoreWeave’s ability to generate profits amid broader AI bubble woes sent its credit risk soaring in late 2025. Those worries have since eased, helping lower financing costs for data center projects tied to the company. Still, the cost of protecting its debt against default for five years is about 3.59 percentage points higher than that for Oracle.

The company has dipped into multiple corners of the debt market to fund its rapid expansion. It has issued $6.5 billion of junk bonds since its market debut in May 2025, as well as $6.6 billion of convertible notes. It has also sold a first-of-its kind $3.1 billion leveraged loan backed by customer contracts for microchips.

CoreWeave, which has Nvidia Corp. among its largest shareholders, has also emerged as a key tenant for data center projects tapping the US junk-bond market. In the latest such deal, earlier this week, Applied Digital Corp. raised $1.59 billion to fund additional computing capacity for CoreWeave in North Dakota.

Founded in 2017 as a crypto miner, CoreWeave amassed a trove of Nvidia graphics processing units in its early days. Today, it operates nearly 50 data centers across North America and Europe, leasing those highly coveted chips by the hour to companies like Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI.
