Good afternoon and welcome to Markets Desk.
The Nasdaq one hundred hit a record high today, with the index climbing more than one percent as tech strength carried the broader tape higher. The S&P five hundred added nearly three quarters of a percent and the Dow gained more than half a point, with Google parent Alphabet among the names drawing attention after reports that the company is developing an AI agent internally codenamed Remy — a twenty-four seven personal assistant designed to take actions on the user's behalf inside the Gemini ecosystem. The disclosure puts Google squarely back in the conversation as competition with OpenAI intensifies.
Staying with AI, the Musk versus OpenAI trial entered its second week with co-founder Greg Brockman on the stand, offering striking testimony about the early power struggle inside the company. Brockman recalled a moment where Musk's anger over being denied control of OpenAI turned physical in tone — testimony that is shaping the legal narrative around governance and founder intent at the heart of this case.
Meanwhile, BellRing Brands had one of the ugliest sessions on the tape, with shares of the Premier Protein parent collapsing more than forty percent after cheaper competing products cut hard into its market position — a sharp reminder that consumer staples are not immune to margin pressure when private label moves in fast.
That's the tape.
