Summary

  • Nvidia, AMD, Micron and SK Hynix all advanced early, extending the AI-driven move that also sent server maker Supermicro up 13% after it raised its fiscal first-quarter revenue forecast.
  • Tesla also climbed after Elon Musk hinted at a possible merger with SpaceX, adding another catalyst ahead of Tesla's earnings due after the closing bell alongside Meta's results.
  • Energy shares lagged the broader market as Brent crude fell to $108 a barrel and WTI hovered near $97, tempering support from the oil patch.
