Wall Street has seen a drop in stock prices, with the Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and S&P 500 all experiencing declines. The request by Elon Musk for Nvidia to prioritize shipments of advanced chips to his private artificial intelligence company xAI and social network X over Tesla has been worth approximately half a billion dollars for graphics chips for Tesla’s autonomous capabilities.

Stock Intel is rising after announcing a new artificial intelligence chip to compete with Nvidia and AMD. Alphabet (Google) announced layoffs in its cloud unit while Microsoft is laying off employees in the HoloLens development department.

Ronan Menachem of Mizrachi Tefahot attributes declines in US futures contracts to market preparations for the upcoming employment report for May, which could impact interest rate cuts.
In Europe, indices are dropping and oil prices have also gone down following OPEC+’s plans to gradually increase oil production. The Eurozone saw an increase in inflation rates, influencing expected interest rate decisions. Asia is trading mixed and futures in the US are stable. Last night on Wall Street, Gamestop made headlines while Spotify had some news as well. Google announced personnel cuts in its cloud unit.
