US Stocks Drift Near Their Records as Tech Keeps Rising and Wall Street Keeps Ignoring DC’s Shutdown

The OpenAI partnership with South Korean firms sparked chip stock gains, with SK Hynix shares up nearly 10% amid U.S. government shutdown and delayed economic reports.

  • On Thursday, OpenAI's partnerships with South Korean tech firms lifted chip and AI stocks, pushing Nasdaq futures up 0.5%.
  • The U.S. government shutdown delayed Labor Department weekly jobless claims report scheduled for Friday, so corporate announcements became the main drivers of trading.
  • In Asia, Samsung Electronics rose 3.5% and SK Hynix jumped 9.9% in Seoul, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s U.S.-traded shares gained 1.2%.
  • The S&P 500 rose 0.3% coming off its latest all-time high, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 78 points, and South Korea's Kospi jumped 2.7% following chip stock gains.
  • OpenAI's Stargate is a $500 billion project expected to boost demand for computer chips, with analysts warning of bubble risks despite export growth forecasts by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
