Palantir (PLTR) rose after reporting fourth-quarter earnings and guidance that exceeded expectations, bucking a broader sell-off in technology stocks as investors reassessed growth, profitability, and sector risk.
Earnings
Teradyne (TER) shares surged after the company reported fourth-quarter results that exceeded expectations across earnings, revenue, and forward guidance, highlighting strong demand in semiconductor testing tied to artificial intelligence workloads.
Macro
Oil prices fell sharply as easing U.S.–Iran tensions, unchanged OPEC+ output, and a U.S.–India trade agreement tied to oil purchases reshaped expectations around global supply and geopolitical risk.
Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin fell below widely watched support levels as dollar strength, macro uncertainty, and risk-off behavior pressured the broader crypto market, pushing sentiment indicators into extreme fear territory.
Price Action
This week’s market action revealed a consistent pattern: investors rewarded near-term clarity, credibility, and visible payoff, while reacting cautiously to uncertainty around costs, capital intensity, and policy direction across earnings and macro events.
