Zuckerberg’s Muse speech amid Meta rally, oil prices dip as Iran talks gain momentum

Meta Platforms’ CEO Mark Zuckerberg is set to address investor expectations as the company’s AI-driven product Muse continues to fuel a significant rally in its stock. Since Muse’s public debut on September 8, Meta’s shares have surged by more than 20%, adding over $200 billion to its market capitalization. The surge has outpaced broader market gains, with the Nasdaq 100 futures contract rising by 0.1% and the Dow and S&P 500 futures each gaining modestly, though the financial services sector within the S&P 500 has seen a 2% decline. Financial institutions such as Charles Schwab and LPL Financial have retreated by over 6%, while others like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Raymond James, and Ameriprise Financial have also experienced declines in response to the sector’s volatility.
