Investors continued to question whether the industry’s massive AI spending can justify its lofty valuations. West Texas Intermediate crude tumbled 4.7% to around $68.55 a barrel, leaving the U.S. benchmark down nearly 23% for the month. This marks the worst monthly performance since March 2020 as traders look past the Hormuz headlines toward signs OPEC is restoring Iraq’s pre-war production allocations. The S&P 500 was roughly flat at 7,363, up about 0.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added around 61 points, also up 0.1% to near 51,982, supported by strength in software and other non-AI names.  The Nasdaq 100 underperformed, falling 0.6% to about 29,253 as the AI trade wobbled. Gold added 1.3% to around $4,081 an ounce, clawing back some ground despite remaining down roughly 8% for the month. ## Friday’s Performance In Major US Indices Index Last % Change S&P 500 7,363.43 +0.1% Dow Jones 51,982 +0.1% Nasdaq 100 29,253 \-0.6% Russell 2000 3,005.03 \-0.1% _Updated by 12:25 PM ET_ According to the Benzinga Pro platform: - The **Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:VOO)** edged up 0.1%. - The **SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE:DIA)** gained 0.1%. - The **Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ)** slid 0.6%. - The **iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:IWM)** dipped 0.1%. ## Semiconductors Crater As Money Rotates Into Defensives Technology was the clear laggard, with the chip rout deepening across the complex.

Memory names also stayed under pressure, with **Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU)** reversing part of Thursday’s earnings-driven surge as worries built that AI infrastructure spending could slow. **Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:WDC)** fell 10.3%. Health care led the rebound, powered by **Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA)**, which surged 13.8% – the day’s biggest gainer – after its annual Science Day presentation detailed a broadening pipeline of mRNA therapies extending well beyond vaccines into oncology and rare diseases. **AST SpaceMobile Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS)** climbed 9.7% amid continued optimism around its Japan regulatory clearance and an upcoming satellite launch, with no single new headline confirmed for the session. ## Friday’s Russell 1000 Top Gainers Name % change **Moderna Inc.** +13.8% **ManpowerGroup Inc.** **(NYSE:MAN)** +10.2% **AST SpaceMobile Inc.** +9.7% **FactSet Research Systems Inc.** **(NYSE:FDS)**  +9.7% **Morningstar Inc.** **(NASDAQ:MORN)** +9.1% ## Friday’s Russell 1000 Top Losers Name % change **ON Semiconductor Corp.** \-21.0% **Western Digital Corp.** \-10.3% **Entegris Inc.** **(NASDAQ:ENTG)**  \-10.2% **Lumentum Holdings Inc.** \-8.4% **Corning Inc.** \-7.8% _Image: Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks -
