U.S. equities drifted higher in a quiet Black Friday session, with all three major indexes posting modest gains as traders returned from the Thanksgiving holiday to an abbreviated trading day. Markets close early 1 p.m. for stocks and 2 p.m. for bonds contributing to typically thin volume.

Intel (INTC) stood out as the top performer in the S&P 500, jumping roughly 8% and helping lift the broader index. At the other end of the spectrum, pharma giant Eli Lilly (LLY) fell nearly 3%, marking the steepest decline among S&P 500 constituents.

Consumer-facing names were also active during the critical shopping day. Brown-Forman (BF.A, BF.B), the parent company of Jack Daniel’s and Herradura, gained around 1.5%. Lululemon (LULU) climbed more than 2%, while Best Buy (BBY), which released earnings earlier this week, slipped more than 1%.

Some stocks tied to the ongoing AI investment wave lost ground. Nvidia (NVDA) dropped around 1.8% and Oracle (ORCL) fell 2.2%, placing both among today’s larger S&P 500 laggards. Still, the broader mega-cap tech group was slightly positive, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) inching up 0.3%.

Crypto-related equities outperformed. Coinbase (COIN) gained nearly 4% following continued purchases by Cathie Wood’s ARK funds. Bitcoin traded near $92,000, extending its rebound from recent lows, while major Bitcoin holder MicroStrategy (MSTR) rose 2.4%.

Major U.S. stock indexes advanced Tuesday, building on the earlier week’s momentum heading into the holiday period. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained more than 1%, while the S&P 500 increased 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.1%.

Retail Shares Outperform

Kohl’s (KSS) stock jumped 35% after the retailer reported an unexpected third-quarter profit. The company also announced that Michael Bender, previously interim CEO, will officially take over the role permanently, following the exit of his predecessor amid allegations of vendor-related misconduct.

Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) climbed 30% after quarterly earnings topped forecasts. While its flagship Abercrombie brand showed slower growth, stronger performance at Hollister is expected to drive sales through the holiday shopping period.

Tech & Communication

Zoom Communications (ZM) rose 12% following earnings that exceeded expectations. The company cited increasing adoption of its AI-powered tools as a key growth factor.

Chipmakers Decline

Nvidia (NVDA) shares fell about 4% after reports suggested Meta Platforms (META) is considering sourcing chips from Alphabet (GOOGL). Other semiconductor names, including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), also traded lower.

Crypto-Exposed Stocks Pull Back

As Bitcoin slipped to around $87,200, crypto-linked equities followed suit, with declines in Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD), Marathon Digital (MARA), and MicroStrategy (MSTR).
