⚡ 5 THINGS TO KNOW RIGHT NOW — BEFORE THE BELL

🌍 MACRO BACKDROP — THE BIG PICTURE

Thursday's session was a straight Iran-headline trade — Trump's threat to strike Iranian infrastructure over any Strait of Hormuz attack sent Brent above $100 for the first time since May 26, spiked the VIX as much as +16% intraday, and drove the 10-year yield toward 4.70%. The MOVE index (bond volatility) is now sitting at its highest level since May 20 — a signal that the rates market hasn't fully exhaled even as equities bounce.

Into Friday's pre-market, that fear is partially unwinding: SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA are all green (+0.35% to +0.56%), Brent has given back the $100 handle to $96, and WTI has dropped under $90. Gasoline futures shed 12 cents to $3.38, with the September RBOB contract at $3.23 implying a national average near $4.18 at the pump next month — versus today's $4.105 AAA reading.

Europe is quietly strong underneath all of this: flash Eurozone and UK PMIs beat across the board this morning (UK Composite 52.1 vs. 49.8 est.), and the STOXX 600 sits within a couple percent of a record — even as the ECB survey trimmed 2026 GDP growth expectations to 0.6% from 1.0%.

This is a HEADLINE-DEPENDENT session. The macro tape wants to grind higher on the oil relief and INTC's earnings beat, but an unconfirmed 8:55 PM Trump rumor and elevated bond vol mean this is not a morning to over-lever into the weekend.

INTC Reframes the Semiconductor Narrative

Intel closed Thursday's regular session at $100.23 before running to roughly $109 in after-hours trading on a Q2 beat: $16.13B revenue (+25% YoY), with ~70% of that AI-driven. CEO Lip-Bu Tan called custom AI chips a $100B+ opportunity, with the ASIC line nearing a $2B run-rate after nearly tripling YoY. 2026 capex guidance was raised to over $20B to feed that build-out. Pre-market, INTC sits at $106.68 (+6.42%).
