Financial markets are focused on the Nasdaq debut of SpaceX, which priced its IPO at $135 per share to raise $75 billion, marking the largest initial public offering in history. Stock futures for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 rose in anticipation of the listing, even as economic concerns persist regarding potential stagflation following reports of rising wholesale prices and increased unemployment claims. Oil prices declined as optimism grew regarding a potential deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to a broader market sentiment that saw major equities indexes finish higher on Thursday.
