"The markets are looking to clinch a winning week as they eye the final stretch of 2025. As things stand, all three of the major stock market averages are little changed while the CBOE volatility index is up approximately 4.7% on the day. With the exception of Nvidia ( Nasdaq: NVDA), which is tacking on almost 2% on a new deal development, Big Tech stocks are aimless. The Nasdaq Composite is looking at a 22.1% gain for the year."
"Nvidia is doling out a cool $20 billion to bolster its AI prowess further by inking a licensing tie-up with AI chip company Groq, a privately held startup. Nvidia gains access to Groq's AI inference tech, while GroqCloud will keep running on its own. Nvidia also inherits Google alum Jonathan Ross from Groq who joins the chip leader's team. Nvidia stock has recaptured the $191 per share level."
"Oracle ( Nasdaq: ORCL) is on pace for suffering its worst three-month stretch in more than two decades in which the software giant has shaved roughly 36% off its value. Investors have been exiting the stock in droves, owing to fears over the pace of its AI buildout. Here's a look at where things stand as of morning trading: Dow Jones Industrial Average: 48,732.15 Up 0.99 (basically flat) Nasdaq Composite: 23,651.05 Up 41.84 (+0.18%) S&P 500: 6,942.33 Up 10.28 (+0.15%)"
U.S. stock indices are largely unchanged as the market approaches the end of 2025, with the CBOE volatility index up about 4.7%. The Nasdaq Composite sits on a roughly 22.1% year-to-date gain. Nvidia announced a $20 billion licensing agreement with Groq, gaining access to Groq's AI inference technology while GroqCloud remains independent and Jonathan Ross joins Nvidia. Nvidia shares have reclaimed the $191 level. Oracle has lost about 36% over the past three months amid investor concern about the pace of its AI buildout. SanDisk and Micron remain among the top performers year-to-date.
