Intel’s Weak Earnings Put Futures on Ice After a Choppy Week

U.S. stock futures lost momentum Friday morning as Wall Street tried to steady itself after several days of sharp swings. Dow futures slipped, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures hovered slightly lower, signaling a cautious start to the trading day. The hesitation came largely from Intel’s disappointing earnings report. The chipmaker’s results and weaker outlook weighed heavily on tech sentiment, sending its shares sharply lower in pre‑market trading. Investors had hoped for stronger numbers given the industry’s AI‑driven momentum, but Intel’s update suggested ongoing challenges in key segments like data‑center chips. The broader market has been wrestling with volatility all week, driven by shifting economic expectations and uneven corporate results. With the S&P 500 on track for another weekly decline, traders appear reluctant to make big moves until they see clearer signs of stability.

Healthy meals: Salmon with Broccoli and Brown Rice

 


Here's a simple and healthy recipe for Salmon with Broccoli and Brown Rice:

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Broccoli:

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Brown Rice:

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups water
  • A pinch of salt


Instructions:

1. Cook the Brown Rice:

  • Rinse the brown rice thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  • Once done, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.

2. Prepare the Broccoli:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned broccoli out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until it's tender and slightly crispy at the edges.

3. Cook the Salmon:

  • While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the salmon. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased oven-safe dish.
  • Brush the salmon fillets with the olive oil mixture.
  • Once the broccoli is done, remove it from the oven and set aside. Turn the oven to broil.
  • Place the salmon under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and has a nicely browned top.

4. Serve:

  • To serve, divide the cooked brown rice, roasted broccoli, and salmon fillets among plates.
  • You can garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Salmon with Broccoli and Brown Rice!
