Pre-Close (3:08 p.m. ET): Nasdaq up 1.8% at 3 p.m. as CoreWeave's results lift chip and AI stocks; bond market shut for Veterans Day
Stocks are firmly higher an hour before the close, led by technology. At the 3:00 p.m. ET print the Nasdaq was up 1.82% and the S&P 500 up 1.40%, with the Dow up 0.48%, as CoreWeave's quarterly beat revived the AI and chip trade after Tuesday's inflation-driven selloff. The stock market is open for Veterans Day, but the bond market is closed.
Dow/S&P/Nasdaq: 3:00 p.m. ET print. Russell: live 2:52 p.m. ET. Others: live 2:50-2:56 p.m. ET. Yahoo Finance, vs Tue close.
The items below come from CNBC's published live blog and its "stocks making the biggest moves" coverage, not from a transcript of the live broadcast. CNBC led with a Nasdaq rally on CoreWeave and an Nvidia rebound. It noted Apple was on track for another record high. It also reported that Anthropic plans to offer 825 million shares in an IPO next week. Corning rose more than 10% after Jefferies started coverage, and Azenta rose about 22% on a beat-and-raise quarter.
