Brent crude rose 2.2% to $111.19, and U.S. Treasury yields fell, with the 10-year dropping to 5.00% as investors sought safer assets.

- ‘AI is on trial’: Bond yields sink below 5% as investors look for safety
- AI stocks tumble as the defensives rise. What it says about this uneasy market
AI stocks fell Thursday as another wave of selling hit the AI trade, after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said neoclouds such as CoreWeave face a “scarcity of capital” even though compute demand is “off the charts.” Meta fell nearly 6%, possibly because of its plan to issue nonvoting stock to help fund AI spending, while GE Vernova dropped almost 10% and Lam Research's guidance for the current quarter disappointed. Money rotated into defensive sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples, which led the S&P 500, and bond yields fell as bond prices rose. Johnson & Johnson erased all of its post-earnings sell-off, while Kimberly-Clark kept climbing.
- The All-In Hosts Asked If the AI Trade Is Cracking. Here’s What Income Investors Should Do
The All-In hosts asked whether the AI trade is breaking as CoreWeave’s stock sold off, with its bonds marked down to 80%. CoreWeave borrows heavily to expand its GPU capacity: second-quarter revenue rose 112.3% to $2.575 billion, but free cash flow was -$5.74 billion and interest expense climbed to $640 million from $267 million a year earlier. Its 2032 bonds yielded 15% versus 5.09% for the 10-year Treasury, while the bulls argue demand remains massive and operating cash flow turned positive at $679 million. The article also points to Procter & Gamble and ADP as income-investor examples, both with yields below the 5.09% Treasury.
- AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests
AI stocks bounced back on Wall Street after a steep slide last week, while the rest of the market and global stocks remained shaky. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%, while many European indexes fell more than 1%, including 1.1% in Paris, after weekend protests raised worries about government spending and bond yields. CoreWeave rose 2.8% after tumbling 25.2% last week, and Nvidia added 1.3%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14% from 5.09%, after topping 5.30% earlier this month, its highest level since 2002, raising borrowing costs for governments, companies and households. Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% after reporting a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit, while Brent crude rose 0.2% to $110.12 a barrel.
- AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests
AI stocks rebounded on Wall Street Monday, recovering some of last week's steep losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.9% and the Nasdaq composite up 1.7%, while most other U.S. stocks fell. European indexes slid more than 1% after weekend protests raised the prospect of bigger government spending, pushing French bond yields up more than German ones. The 10-year Treasury yield edged up to 5.12%, though falling oil prices, with Brent down 1.4% to $108.35 per barrel, helped keep yields in check. Nvidia added 2.1%, CoreWeave rose 2.9% after tumbling 25.2% last week, and SpaceX gained 3.1% to $150.55, while Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.1% on a bigger-than-expected profit. Investors now await Wednesday's results from Meta Platforms and Lam Research for more clues on AI spending, while analysts forecast 29% profit growth for S&P 500 companies.

- Forget AI Stocks: 2 Cryptocurrencies to Consider Buying Instead

- Warren Buffett's Successor, Greg Abel, Has 22% of Berkshire Hathaway Invested in This Stock That Just Crossed the $5 Trillion Mark
Greg Abel became Berkshire Hathaway's CEO at the start of the year and so far has made few major changes, closing some positions formerly managed by Todd Combs while keeping the company culture and most Buffett-era holdings.

In fiscal Q3 2026, Apple's revenue rose 16% year over year to $109.4 billion and EPS of $2.02 grew 29%, with iPhone sales reaching $54.3 billion, up 21.6%. The article argues that the iPhone 17, Apple's AI strategy, the foldable iPhone Duo and its large ecosystem could support long-term growth, though tariffs and legal challenges remain.

CEO Edwin Roks blamed project timing at a major customer and acknowledged that wait times for key materials stretch from 12 to 24 weeks. Debt from the Epiq and Ophir acquisitions is expected to add about $20 million in interest expenses per quarter.
