A day after snapping their respective 9 day winning streaks for both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite, and both falling off record highs, Nasdaq futures are lower by over 1% this morning after Broadcom (AVGO) shares fall -12% overnight following a Q2 earnings beat but guides Q3 Semiconductor revenue from Ai $16B below ests $17.2B and at the same time did not raise its Ai Semiconductor sales forecast for 2026. Oil prices slipped (but remain elevated) keeping inflation worries elevated as progress on Middle East peace talks appeared to be in limbo. Last night, the Republican-led House voted to halt the US war with Iran. Recent days have brought contradictory messages regarding the U.S.-Iran peace process while they traded a new round of air strikes. But last night, Israel and Lebanon said late on Wednesday they had agreed to implement a ceasefire, raising hopes for a deal between Washington and Tehran. Iran has made any agreement conditional in part on an end to fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, an Iran-aligned group in Lebanon. Among the benchmark index’s 11 major industry sectors, six lost ground on Wednesday as Energy (XLE) was the biggest gainer with U.S. crude oil futures settling up 2.4%. Consumer discretionary, technology and financials were the biggest laggards space during the session. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index tumbled -931 points to 67,470, the Shanghai Index dropped -26 points to 4,057, and the Hang Seng Index dropped -379 points to 25,253. In Europe, the German DAX is up 83 points to 24,879, while the FTSE 100 is down -77 points to 10,255. Bitcoin prices tumbled to February lows, down over -3% at $62,775 after hitting lows of $61,344 overnight. Investor sentiment deteriorated earlier this week after digital asset treasury giant Strategy (MSTR) revealed it sold tokens for the first time since 2022. The US dollar (DXY) pulls back off 2 month highs. Markets seeing their first overall pullback in semis overnight after the AVGO guidance, pulling the Semi index (SOX) off its record highs – does it bounce?
