Top Stock Movers Now: United Airlines, AMD, Lockheed Martin, and More
U.S. equities rose and oil futures fell at midday on hopes the fighting between Israel and Iran will ease. Airline and cruise line shares advanced on optimism fuel prices won't jump because of the Middle East fighting. Tumbling oil prices sent shares of oil producers lower.U.S. equities jumped and oil prices plunged at midday on optimism the fighting between Israel and Iran will be contained. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all added 1%. Shares of United Airlines (UAL), Carnival Corp. (CCL), and others in the airline and cruise line industries took off on hopes an easing of Middle East tensions will help keep fuel costs from rising. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) was the best-performing stock in the S&P 500 when Piper Sandler boosted the price target, pointing to enthusiasm for its latest product launches, especially its Helios server. Shares of Dish Network owner EchoStar (SATS) soared following a report that President Donald Trump had intervened to try to settle an issue that threatened the satellite TV provider's valuable spectrum licenses. MGM Resorts International (MGM) stock gained as BetMGM, which it co-owns with London-traded Entain, raised its full-year outlook. Shares of rival casino operators Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) also advanced. A potentially limited conflict in the Middle East that drove down crude prices sent shares of APA (APA) and rival oil producers lower. Also falling were shares of defense contractors Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Northrop Grumman (NOC). Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT) shares plunged after the biotech company reported a second patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who was taking its Elevidys treatment died of acute liver failure (ALF). Gold futures fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was little changed. The U.S. dollar lost ground to the euro and pound, and was little changed against the yen. Major cryptocurrencies traded higher.

Pulsar Fusion Confirms Expansion to U.S. with New Texas Office, Signs MOU with Thales Alenia Space, Unveils UK's Largest Space Testing Facility, and Releases New Mission Video to Titan
Sunbird Thruster Image Thales Alenia Space (TAS)-Image Pulsar Fusion & Thales Alenia Space (TAS)-Image LONDON and AUSTIN, Texas, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pulsar Fusion, the UK-based fusion propulsion company behind the breakthrough Sunbird platform, today announced a series of major developments as it expands its global footprint, advances key partnerships, and showcases its vision for interplanetary travel. The company is opening a new U.S. office in Austin, Texas, positioning itself at the heart of the rapidly growing American space and innovation ecosystem. This strategic move supports Pulsar's increasing engagement with U.S.-based clients and investors. Pulsar UK has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Thales Alenia Space (TAS) in relation to Pulsar's 5kW MOONRANGER Hall-effect thrusters, which are being live test-fired. This signifies the latest indication of Pulsars broadening commercial appeal to Tier 1 aerospace primes. Meanwhile in Bletchley, England, Pulsar is preparing to pump down the first of its two newly built space-grade vacuum chambers, now officially the largest of their kind in the United Kingdom. These facilities will enable critical qualification and endurance testing for both Pulsar's Hall-effect thrusters and its next-generation Sunbird platform. As part of its public outreach and future mission planning, the company has also released its latest concept video, showcasing a Sunbird-powered mission to Saturn's moon Titan. The video illustrates how Pulsar's fusion systems could cut travel times dramatically, delivering critical payloads across the solar system faster and more efficiently than current propulsion methods allow. CEO Richard Dinan said: 'Nuclear fusion is the pinnacle of space propulsion technology. These reactors are uniquely suited for in-orbit use, and in many ways, it's more practical to use fusion for space propulsion than for energy on Earth. That said, we must pursue both and I believe we will ultimately succeed in both. The recent acceleration in AI capabilities is a true game-changer for fusion. These systems will help us manage ultra-hot plasmas with far greater precision, enabling reactors to become smaller, more intelligent, and vastly more practical. It's an incredibly exciting time to be building fusion systems' About Pulsar Fusion Ltd. Established in 2013 as Applied Fusion Systems, Pulsar Fusion develops hyper-fast space propulsion systems using nuclear fusion. Fusion offers the best alternative with sufficient exhaust speed and thrust to propel spacecraft beyond our solar system. In 2022 and 2023 Pulsar Fusion was awarded multiple funding rounds from the UK Space Agency to conduct research into nuclear electric propulsion and to expand their large HET development. Pulsar is creating an ecosystem of propulsion systems and services that advance the use of fusion as a near-limitless, clean energy source.
