Stock Market Today, Nov. 10: AMD Rises on Plan to Invest $2.5 Billion in Anthropic

Source The Motley Fool

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), a data-center and PC chip designer, closed at $515.21, up 1.30%. Tuesday's gains followed a premarket upgrade and fresh AI-chip deal chatter, and investors are watching data-center demand and AI spending next.

Trading volume reached 46.7 million shares, coming in about 102% above its three-month average of 23.2 million shares.

How the markets moved today

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) closed at 7,521, down 0.38%, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) ended at 25,066, down 0.74%. Among semiconductors, x86 CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators, and data-center/server chip stocks, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) fell 5.47% to $168.89 and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) dropped 2.09% to $58.13, while AMD outperformed both chip rivals.

What this means for investors

AMD stock rose today after artificial intelligence giant Anthropic disclosed in an amended IPO filing on Nov. 10 that AMD would be part of a group involved in a $26 billion private placement alongside some of the world's biggest technology companies. AMD plans to invest $2.5 billion worth of non-voting Class N common stock in Anthropic, which counts toward an earlier commitment of up to $5 billion linked to chip deliveries.

AMD shares have been on a run this week after its chief rival, Nvidia, disclosed an investigation into its CEO, Jensen Huang, over his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. Wall Street's fears that Huang could be forced to step down caused investors to shift into AMD stock.

This added to analyst upgrades of the company's shares, as its business continues to boom. AMD's Nov. 3 earnings results showed record quarterly revenue of $13.4 billion and Q4 revenue guidance of about $17 billion, which kept AI-driven growth in focus.

I have long been an admirer of AMD's CEO, Lisa Su, which is one of the factors behind my buying shares. The company's performance demonstrates her skill at leading the semiconductor giant as it capitalizes on massive AI demand.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you thinkSpot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.
