    Stocks rose on Thursday, with the S&P 500 up 1.02%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average higher by 1.62%, and the Nasdaq Composite ahead by 0.89%. The bullish mood was driven by earnings reports, an acceptable GDP report, and as the war in Iran seems to be fading in the mind of investors focused on corporate results (at least for now).

    The tech selloff continues at midday. AI is starting to eat its own, as many of the software companies that have been launching AI products and integrating AI strategies are now facing competitive threats from the technology. The Nasdaq is now down about 3% year to date, reversing its upward start from January. The Dow is still positive for 2026, but the S&P 500 has now dipped below the flat line.
