On Friday morning, the U.S. stock market was mixed, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.5% and the Nasdaq composite rising 1.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by 197 points (0.4%). The Dow's drop was largely attributed to weaker performances from major financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. In contrast, technology stocks rallied, particularly Intel, which soared 23.9% after reporting significantly better-than-expected quarterly results, marking its best performance since 1987. This surge in tech stocks contributed to a broader rally on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 having gained over 12% in less than a month. Meanwhile, online education platform Coursera saw its stock plummet 14.2% following disappointing earnings. The mixed results in the stock market reflect ongoing concerns about the geopolitical situation, particularly the conflict involving Iran, which has kept oil prices volatile.
