news when you want it with bloomberg news now i'm karen moscow and stocks are mixed at the open as volatility hits chip makers anew after blowout earnings from samsung electronics left investors wanting even more bonds are slipping as brent crude heads for the biggest gain in more than a week the s p 500 now little changed at the open the down jones industrial average up four tenths of a percent the nasdaq is down half percent 10-year treasury yield at 4.49 percent and imex crude oil is higher up 1.7 percent at 69.72 a barrel brent at 73 dollars 26 cents. Samsung, the world's biggest memory maker by market value, tumbled as much as 11 percent in South Korea. Its quarterly report failed to wow traders even after profits surged 19-fold.
Karen Moskow 1:25
We get more with Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow.
Phil Mercer 1:28
Essentially, nothing's fundamentally changed. So you went through the Samsung numbers. They were very good. It's also a stock that was 150% up year-to-date going into it. And what they told the market was the situation's the same. Memory supply is very tight. Importantly, DRAM and NAND pricing continues to go up. And on the other side of 2027, they don't know when that's going to improve. So the market probably looked at this probably on a valuations basis and said, we've had enough for now. And by association, all those peers here in the United States are down as a result. But fundamentally, nothing's changed.
Karen Moskow 2:02
And at Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow, Samsung's peers are also moving lower. Micron technology is down about 7%. SanDisk down 7.5% at the open. President Trump is in Ankara for a summit with NATO allies. One of the first items on his agenda is a meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Head of that meeting, President Trump gave another strong indication that he may soon try to reverse a ban on Turkey buying F-35 fighter jets from the U.S.,
Donald Trump 2:30
It's a decision we're going to make.

What are the latest updates on chip stocks and market volatility?

Donald Trump 2:34
We have a very good relationship. I would think that many people, I can tell you, many people, including the people sitting right here, thinks, you know, why wouldn't we do that? We have a better relationship with Turkey, and Turkey's been in many ways much more loyal than other countries that we think would be loyal. So, yeah, something certainly we would consider.
Karen Moskow 2:55
And President Trump speaking before his meeting with Turkish President Erdogan. While the gathering of alliance leaders is fraught with tension this year, the two leaders have overseen an improvement in their country's relations, and Trump said he's only attending because of Erdogan. A Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier was hit, and a laden Saudi oil tanker suffered damage as they exited the Strait of Hormuz, heightening unease among ship owners and testing a U.S.-Iran agreement to halt attacks. The incidents are a reminder of the continued risk to ships crossing through Hormuz, even after an interim peace deal was signed between the U.S. and Iran last month. We get more with Bloomberg's Anne-Marie Hordern.
Anne-Marie Hordern 3:32
This is really important for a number of reasons. One, it shows that the ceasefire right now is quite fragile. Second, it shows that even if you are a mediator, like Qatar, like Doha, And you are trying to forge ahead with the MOU during these peace talks to get to a more sustainable peace that you potentially are not safe, even though you are playing this role as a mediator.
Karen Moskow 3:55
And as Bloomberg's Anne-Marie Hordern, Iran has repeatedly said it will not allow vessels to transit the waterway without its permission. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says he'll quit as a lawmaker and seek re-election to clear his name over financial allegations.
