>>> What to look at today - 6th of Aug 2026

Wall Street’s blistering run took a breather, with traders digesting the recent stock gains and monitoring any hints of progress toward a deal to revive the Strait of Hormuz. Signs of exhaustion emerged after a $3.7 trillion S&P 500 rally in just four days. A key gauge of chipmakers fell 1.4%, though Nvidia Corp. climbed. Despite strong results, SpaceX sank 14% as $101 billion worth of stock becomes available for trading Thursday. The morning exuberance in equities was followed by a pullback, with investors waiting for a follow-through on the Middle East situation, according to Jose Torres at Interactive Brokers. Iran said it reached an agreement with Oman on a proposed route for shipping through Hormuz, a potential step toward a reopening of the critical waterway for energy supplies. US oil settled around $75. The weight of the evidence continues to support giving the bull market in stocks the benefit of the doubt, even as we experience more bumps along the way, according to Keith Lerner at Truist Advisory Services Inc. On the economic front, the US service sector expanded at a steady pace in July, but rising costs for services and materials continued to weigh on firms. Companies added fewer jobs than expected. If confirmed in the government’s monthly jobs report on Friday, the recent employment trend suggests Federal Reserve officials can keep their focus on still-elevated prices. Fed Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari told CNBC the central bank should start raising rates incrementally right now to curb inflation that remains too high. US After Hours WDC -11.1%, SNDK -5.4% lower on earnings; SITM +31.4%, SOUN +18.7%, AEVA +18.1%, PAYC +16.1% sharply higher on earnings; BLLN -28.7%, FIG -16.9%, APP -16.1%, BROS -11.7% also lower on earnings.
