Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-0.1%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.3%), and DJIA (-0.5%) now lean mostly lower at midday.

The modest retreat follows a New York Post report that President Trump said the U.S. military is preparing to resume strikes on Iran if peace talks fail this weekend.

Elsewhere, CoreWeave (CRWV 102.93, +10.93, +11.88%) is surging higher after announcing a multi-year agreement with Anthropic to support the development and training of its Claude family of AI models, marking another major demand signal for CRWV's rapidly scaling GPU cloud platform. The announcement also comes alongside an expanded partnership with Meta Platforms (META 625.42, -2.97, -0.47%) worth roughly $21 billion, helping diversify CRWV's customer base beyond heavy reliance on Microsoft (MSFT 370.83, -2.24, -0.60%), which previously accounted for nearly 67% of revenue.
