Stock market today: Dow slides, S&P 500 and Nasdaq snap winning streaks as Oracle leads tech stocks lower

On Tuesday, U.S. stocks experienced a slight dip after their recent record highs, as investors on Wall Street grappled with apprehensions regarding the government shutdown alongside optimism surrounding advancements in artificial intelligence.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) saw a decrease of 0.2%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped approximately 0.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) fell around 0.7% after new record high closes the previous day.

Gold (GC=F) prices surged past $4,000 per ounce for the first time as investors sought out safe havens amid market uncertainty.

This decline in stocks followed the S&P and Nasdaq’s seventh consecutive victories on Monday, spurred by reports concerning a multibillion-dollar collaboration involving AMD (AMD) and OpenAI (OPAI.PVT), propelling the chip company’s stock sharply upwards.

However, tech shares took a hit on Tuesday, predominantly due to a fall in Oracle’s (ORCL) share price following a report revealing concerns about profitability in its cloud computing division compared to analyst expectations. Ultimately, Oracle’s shares tumbled as much as 7% during the day before closing down by 2%.

Similarly, Tesla’s (TSLA) stock declined by 4%, following the company’s reveal of a lower-cost Model Y priced at under $40,000, a launch that had been teased through a series of enigmatic social media hints.

Amidst the ongoing government shutdown, earnings announcements are set to gain heightened importance. If the federal impasse persists, it could obscure critical economic indicators for market participants as key data outputs become limited, complicating predictions regarding interest rate trajectories.

This shutdown already postponed the September jobs report initially scheduled for Friday. Additionally, next week’s anticipated inflation reports for consumers and producers, vital for Federal Reserve policy, may also be delayed.

Meanwhile, political stalemate over a funding resolution persists. President Trump made it clear he would negotiate with Democrats regarding the healthcare subsidies they seek post-reopening of the government, also intensifying his rhetoric against federal workers.

    Stocks pull back from record levels as Oracle shares decline

    Markets pulled back from their record levels on Tuesday, particularly as Oracle (ORCL) share prices suffered after a report revealed the company’s cloud computing margins may fall short of analysts’ expectations.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI), S&P 500 (^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) each fell by less than 1% after these indices reached new records in the previous session.

    The downturn in stocks coincided with a report by the Information indicating that internal documents suggested Oracle’s gross margin dropped to 67.3%, its lowest level in over a year.

    As a consequence, Oracle stock fell by up to 7% during the trading day before stabilizing at a closing price 2% lower.

    Gold’s surge may face a pause or correction, according to strategist

    Strategists suggest gold may be due for a consolidation period following substantial gains exceeding 50% year-to-date.

    The price of gold surpassed the $4,000 mark on Tuesday following an impressive seven-week rally.

    Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, mentioned, “A breakout beyond this point could indicate a bullish continuation in the upward trend, but if we fail here, a retracement may be expected.”

    He noted that the recent surge was significantly influenced by increasing uncertainty regarding the government shutdown and heightened demand for physical gold, particularly in ETFs, which achieved record inflows in the previous quarter.

    UBS maintains bull market outlook despite AI bubble concerns

    UBS strategists contend that the ongoing surge in AI-related deals is driving favorable market conditions.

    Notably, OpenAI’s partnerships with companies such as AMD, Nvidia, Oracle, and Broadcom have propelled the S&P 500 (^GSPC) to achieve seven straight days of gains, marking its longest winning streak since May.

    “With hundreds of billions of investments committed, the bull market is nearing its three-year anniversary, all while concerns of a potential AI bubble comparable to the dot-com era loom large. However, warnings about a bubble have persisted nearly as long as the AI boom itself,” stated UBS chief investment officer Americas, Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi.

    “Although some degree of consolidation is likely after such a vigorous rally, we believe robust fundamentals will continue to fuel the equity rally.”

    The pullback on Tuesday for tech stocks followed a report indicating Oracle’s (ORCL) cloud computing margins might be lower than previously estimated, influencing overall market performance.

    Oracle shares decline following reports of lower than expected margins

    Oracle (ORCL) shares dropped on Tuesday, dragging the broader market down after internal documents suggested the company’s cloud margins might underperform Wall Street expectations.

    The report from the Information revealed that Oracle faced approximately $900 million in earnings from renting Nvidia-based servers, yielding only $125 million in gross profit. The company’s gross margin plummeted to 67.3%, marking its lowest in well over a year amidst substantial investments in chips and data centers.

    During Tuesday’s trading session, Oracle shares experienced a drop of 3%. Despite this downturn, shares had surged over 60% earlier this year, buoyed by the rising demand for AI technologies and a critical agreement with OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) to secure 4.5 gigawatts of data center capacity.
