Berkshire Buys $2.6B of Delta While Chip Stocks Sink Nasdaq Again

from Market Brief - After Hours

On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, chip stocks dragged the Nasdaq lower for a second straight session as a warning from Seagate's CEO triggered a broad semiconductor selloff pulling Micron, Western Digital, and SanDisk sharply lower. Berkshire Hathaway made headlines with a major portfolio revamp under new CEO Greg Abel, making a significant bet on Delta Air Lines while increasing its Alphabet stake and exiting several positions. Global bond yields surged to multi-decade highs, oil held above $112 on Iran tensions, and EUR/USD and GBP/USD both recovered ground after recent weakness. We also cover a Bitcoin liquidation shock, a sharp Silver rebound, and big moves from LiveRamp, Regeneron, and Dominion Energy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
