    The Nasdaq Composite rebounded on Friday as investors bought up shares of key technology stocks a day after the group led Wall Street to its worst day in more than a month.

    The tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.6%, on pace to snap a three-day losing streak. The S&P 500 traded up 0.3%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 181 points, or 0.4%. The three indexes bounced back significantly from their lows earlier in the day, which had the Nasdaq and S&P 500 down 1.9% and about 1.4%, respectively. The Dow had fallen almost 600 points, or roughly 1.3%.

    The tech trade gained some ground after coming under pressure in recent days. Leading artificial intelligence players Nvidia and Oracle both reversed course from their losses seen in the previous session, as did Palantir Technologies and Tesla, both of which saw a drop of more than 6% in the prior day. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) was up about 1%, making up some of its 2% decline from Thursday.

    Major U.S. indexes on Thursday posted their worst one-day performance since Oct. 10. The 30-stock Dow lost about 800 points, taking back gains seen in Wednesday’s session when it crossed the 48,000 level. The Nasdaq plummeted more than 2%, as technology giants came away battered.

    While those losses initially put the Nasdaq on pace to snap its seven-week win streak, Friday’s move higher placed it back in positive territory on the week. The index was last marginally higher week to date. The S&P 500 has risen 0.5% on the week, while the Dow is higher by 0.7%.

    “We’re kind of switching back and forth between this risk-on [and] risk-off type of a trade,” said Brian Mulberry, client portfolio manager at Zacks Investment Management. “I think people are looking to maybe reposition going into the end of the year, into 2026, just knowing the concentration that most people have built up because of the solid performance from these technology companies.”

    “There will be somewhat of a floor, I think, in this volatility. We just expect that you’ll probably have more of these 1% to 2% moves up and down till close to the end of the year just as people reposition and de-risk their portfolios,” he also said.

    Concerns about the AI trade have emerged more seriously this week, with the recent wipeout in once-hot cloud stock Oracle further spooking investors about elevated tech valuations, a massive surge in debt financing and soaring AI capex plans. To be sure, Oracle’s growth is uniquely more reliant on its cloud deal with OpenAI and the company has far less cash compared to hyperscalers.

    “AI is truly testing the limits of Wall Street spreadsheets right now,” David Krakauer, vice president of portfolio management at Mercer Advisors, told CNBC, adding that investors pricing in “so much of this future growth that they really can’t measure yet” just spurs an “environment of swings.” “The valuations are so stretched, and any little movement in expectations on either profits or interest rates is going to have a bigger and bigger effect.”

    Mounting unease about the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision exacerbated the existing pressure on the market this week. Traders are now pricing in a less than 50% chance that the central bank will cut its benchmark overnight borrowing rate by a quarter percentage point during their December meeting, which is lower than the 62.9% likelihood that markets priced in earlier this week and 95.5% chance a month ago, per the CME FedWatch Tool.

    Investors are counting on another rate cut in December to revive the economy, as well as risk-taking on Wall Street. But some Fed members are growing concerned that inflation is too sticky to warrant another rate decrease this year.

    The U.S. government shutdown, which was the longest in history, ended Wednesday evening after stretching on for more than six weeks. That development had been expected to end a period of time where investors were operating without important economic data. Instead, it has raised new questions. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that some economic data that was due out during the impasse might never be released.

    Samsung Electronics Hosts Silicon Valley Future Wireless Summit 2025 – Samsung Newsroom Canada

    Telecommunications industry experts share achievements in AI-based next-generation communication technology

    Event was held under the theme ‘Unlocking New Possibilities with AI-Centric Networks’

     

    Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today hosted the Silicon Valley Future Wireless Summit 2025 in Mountain View, California under the theme “Unlocking New Possibilities with AI-Centric Networks.”

     

    The summit attracted approximately 100 distinguished participants, including representatives from major telecommunications operators, manufacturers, government agencies and academia. Following the official launch of 6G standardization discussions in the United States by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in June, the industry has shifted its focus toward developing next-generation technologies that integrate AI into 6G communications. Samsung demonstrated its leadership in future communication technology at the event, unveiling achievements in AI-native technologies deployed in actual systems.

     

    “We are focusing on integrating AI into communication systems to maximize user experience and network operational efficiency,” said JinGuk Jeong, Executive Vice President and Head of the Advanced Communications Research Center at Samsung Research. “Through the Silicon Valley Future Wireless Summit, we will expand collaboration with the telecommunications industry and continue our efforts to advance next-generation communication technology.”

     

    AI-Driven Innovation in Wireless Communications, With Full-Scale AI-RAN Technology Validation

     

    The summit commenced with keynote presentations from telecommunications industry experts, followed by three main sessions: “New AI-Driven Services,” “AI Radio Innovation,” and “AI Network Innovation,” along with technology demonstrations. Each session included a lecture on the topic, as well as panel discussions that facilitated dynamic exchanges between participants through Q&A sessions and active debates.

     

    The “New AI-Driven Services” session focused on new wireless network services enabled by AI technology. The session came within the context of the industry having reached a consensus on the potential for AR∙XR and Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), among others.

     

    The “AI Radio Innovation” session covered the latest developments in AI-RAN and wireless network performance optimization through AI. Furthermore, active discussions were held on AI-RAN as a core technology for 6G communications.

     

    The “AI Network Innovation” session featured in-depth discussions on the various impacts of AI-native communication technology extending from wireless networks to wired networks and servers. Participants learned how AI will be utilized in network automation, resource management optimization and predictive maintenance to maximize network operational efficiency.

     

    The technology demonstration session that closed out the day showcased AI-RAN technology jointly developed by Samsung and its partners. Attendees showed particular interest in the validation results demonstrating how base station communication equipment with AI-RAN autonomously makes determinations and adjustments to optimize network quality.

     

     

    The Development of AI-Native Next-Generation Communications Through Global Partnerships

     

    Samsung is expanding its collaboration on 6G and AI-native communication technology with global partners, including telecommunications carriers, research institutes and consortia.

     

    This year, the company has initiated collaboration with domestic carriers in Korea like KT — as well as global companies and research institutes such as SoftBank and KDDI Research — to enhance future communication quality. It is also participating in the Verizon 6G Innovation Forum, a global consortium leading the way in 6G technology development and commercialization.

     

    Going forward, Samsung plans to further strengthen collaboration with global partners and continue research on the convergence of AI and communications technology to solidify its position in next-generation communications technology.
