Stock Market Today: Samsung Sparks Tech Selloff Despite Strong Results -- Live Updates

Stock Market Today coverage highlighted that oil prices strengthened after attacks on ships in the Persian Gulf, adding support to energy sentiment. In equities, the session narrative centered on Samsung, the chip giant, which projected a 19-fold surge in quarterly earnings. The update was described as reassuring regarding the durability of AI spending, and it initially pointed to strong momentum for technology results. However, the report also indicated that the message did not translate into a broadly smooth tape, with “tech selloff” referenced despite those strong figures. As the day progressed, markets were set against a backdrop of oil-driven moves and sector volatility tied to expectations for AI-related spending.
