On the earnings front, shares of Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) slipped lower after the chip designer unveiled that it may lose some business from top customer Samsung Electronics next year.

The announcement overshadowed current-quarter sales and profit forecasts from the chip designer that surpassed Wall Street expectations thanks in large part to demand for premium smartphones.

On the flip side, fellow chip technology provider Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) gained after its fiscal third-quarter outlook surpassed estimates, buoyed by heavy recent AI spending throughout the tech industry.

Are Trump’s tariffs legal?

Also attracting investors’ attention was the Supreme Court examining whether Trump’s sweeping tariffs violated U.S. law.

On Wednesday, the high court began hearing oral arguments on Trump’s usage of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, as legal backing for the levies. The matter has been brought before the Supreme Court after lower courts ruled that the president had surpassed his authority by employing the measures.

The case, which could reshape presidential trade powers, carries major implications for U.S.-China relations and global markets.
