US Stocks Mixed as Micron Surges on AI Outlook, Apple Slides After Price Hikes
US stocks traded mixed on Thursday as a rally in AI-linked chipmakers, led by Micron Technology, offset losses in Apple after it announced price increases. The Dow rose 228 points, while the Nasdaq fell 1.2%. Micron surged 9.7% on strong earnings and forecast, easing AI valuation concerns. Apple dropped 4.8% after 15-20% Mac price hikes, attributed to rising memory costs. Markets also found support from easing Treasury yields after in-line inflation data.
