At the market opening, the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a modest uptick of 0.1%, while the S&P 500 Index remained relatively stable, starting the day on a flat note. In contrast, the Nasdaq Index experienced a slight dip, falling by 0.02%. Notably, Boeing's shares surged approximately 2% following the announcement of a significant order from Uzbekistan Airways, reflecting positive market sentiment towards the aerospace giant. Meanwhile, TSMC, a key player in the semiconductor industry, unveiled plans to hike the price of its cutting-edge 2-nanometer node technology by at least 50%, a move that could have far-reaching implications for the tech sector. On the downside, the majority of Chinese concept stocks witnessed a decline, with Kingsoft Cloud's stock price taking a notable hit, dropping around 4% due to its planned issuance of 282 million ordinary shares, which may have raised concerns among investors about dilution.
