The Midday 10

The Midday 10 — the US midday tape

The Midday 10 · 12:30 ET · 2026-07-17

A session of two tapes: the semiconductor complex broke its June floors at the open — SOXX traded below 499 — and spent the morning buying the entire break back to the 530 line, while the rest of the board stayed contained throughout; Communications and Discretionary lead lower on single-name weight, Energy and Industrials hold green, and volatility is bid into monthly options expiration.

US midday, intraday quotes (delayed)

  1. 1

    UP AST SpaceMobile

    ASTS adds 9.91% by midday, reaching 60.46, making it one of the session's clearest momentum standouts. No single catalyst is cited in the data, but the move stands apart from a tape that is otherwise leaning red.

  2. 2

    UP Bloom Energy

    BE climbs 6.17% to 219.49 by midday, a notable gain for an energy-transition name on a day when the broader market drifts lower. The move sits alongside a modest positive session for the Energy complex.

  3. 3

    UP Nebius Group

    NBIS rises 4.97% to 180.31 by midday, extending what has been a strong run for AI-infrastructure names. The gain is all the more notable given the mild softness in Software (IGV) and Cloud (CLOU) today.
