Wall Street opened the last trading day of the week with cautious optimism after a dramatic morning that highlighted how fragile market infrastructure can be. A major outage at the CME, caused by a cooling system failure at CyrusOne, temporarily froze US futures for nearly an hour but was resolved just before the market bell. The early disruption had limited impact thanks to the holiday lull and the absence of new macro data.

The S&P 500 is moving up slightly, on track for a solid weekly gain as traders continue to price in a likely December rate cut by the Federal Reserve. With money markets suggesting roughly an 80 percent chance of a move, investors are taking early positions, ready to capture any momentum once the market fully settles.

$GOOG is up as enthusiasm around Google’s AI initiatives returns. The Gemini 3 launch and reports of a potential chip partnership with Meta have reassured investors that Alphabet is expanding its AI edge. In a market focused on hardware leadership, any sign that Google is narrowing the gap with Nvidia supports the early rally.

$NVDA is climbing as traders continue to value its dominant position in AI acceleration. Even with rising competition from Google, Nvidia remains the reference point for high performance compute, and demand for AI chips continues to outpace supply.

$COIN is trading higher as Bitcoin crosses 90,000 dollars early in the session. Momentum in crypto is translating into equity gains, and Coinbase is benefiting from higher trading volumes and renewed investor interest.

$HOOD is up as the broader crypto trend supports increased activity on the platform, boosting short-term sentiment among traders.

$MSTR has gained, reflecting its role as a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin. Early crypto strength is giving MicroStrategy a direct boost, keeping traders attentive to any rapid moves in the market.

$GME is up as speculative momentum continues from earlier in the week. Anticipation for upcoming earnings and retail investor activity are keeping volatility elevated in the stock.

$CRCL is trading higher after S&P Global downgraded Tether, highlighting the risks in Tether’s reserve structure. Circle is seen as a more stable alternative, which is attracting investor confidence.

$AMZN is up, with investors watching for strong Black Friday and holiday season sales. Expectations of high e-commerce demand are keeping the stock supported.

$WMT and $COST are both trading higher as the retail sector benefits from the official start of holiday shopping. Large scale, pricing power, and customer loyalty continue to reassure investors during early sessions.
