US Stocks Rebound as Chipmakers Rally

2026-07-30 20:12 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

US stock indices closed higher on Thursday, rebounding from the previous session's losses as chipmakers rallied and investors assessed earnings.

The S&P 500 gained 1.7%, the Nasdaq jumped 3.4%, and the Dow added 614 points.

Microsoft surged 15.5% after reporting 43% cloud revenue growth, its strongest since 2022, while keeping capital expenditure guidance broadly in line with expectations.

Chipmakers jumped after yesterday's selloff.

Micron rose 18.4%, AMD gained 13%, Intel added 11.3%, and Sandisk soared 26% as investors bought the dip on expectations the AI-driven rally still has room to run.

Oracle jumped 8.3% after expanding its Google Gemini AI partnership.

Those gains outweighed a disappointing forecast from Meta (-7.9%).

Treasury yields remained high despite soft Q2 GDP growth.

The Fed held rates yesterday, but Chair Warsh's reluctance to signal a rate hike raised concerns that inflation could be higher for longer.

Apple (-1.4%) and Amazon (+3.9%) report later.
