The Dow was unable to move higher despite a big move from Apple (AAPL)
Shares of Paramount Global (NYSE:PARA) are down 1.6% at $10.86 this morning, after the company's largest shareholder, Shari Redstone, eliminated merger talks with Skydance Media. This comes after six months of negotiations began. The stock remains at multi-year lows and sports a 26.2% year-to-date deficit, with overhead pressure stemming from the 200-day moving average.
The Dow was much more volatile, but ultimately finished higher for the day

The Nasdaq and S&P 500 marked their fourth-straight record close today, climbing once again on the back of upbeat inflation data. The PPI for May dropped to 0.2% from April, giving inflation watchers more space to breathe. The Dow suffered another loss, its third in a row, while Wall Street's "fear gauge," the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) logged its lowest close in three weeks.
The stock market kicked off the short week with impressive gains. The Dow snapped a four-day losing streak with a triple-digit win, its best single-session pop of the month so far. The tech-heavy Nasdaq and S&P 500 both logged yet another record close, the former scoring its sixth-straight win. As investors parse through economic data indicating a strengthening economy, all eyes turn to retail sales data due out tomorrow.

The S&P 500 notched yet another record close, thanks in part to chip-name Nvidia's (NVDA) outperformance, which helped the company surpass Microsoft (MSFT) in terms of valuation. The tech-heavy Nasdaq clung to its lead, eking out a 7th-straight gain and record close of its own. Meanwhile, the Dow settled slightly above breakeven, as Wall Street digested weak retail sales data.
Jeremy Hunt is the best Conservative chancellor since 2010 — many of his measures will live on
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit fresh all-time highs midday, and Wall Street looked poised to extend its record-breaking run. However, the surge was short-lived, with both indexes faltering into the red by the close, the latter snapping a seven-day win streak. On the flip side, the Dow snagged a third-straight gain, logging its highest close and best single-session pop in a month.
