SpaceX shares rose 9% on their second day of trading, following a 19% increase from its IPO price of $135, raising a total of $85.7 billion. Ferrari's stock jumped 5% after Morgan Stanley upgraded it to overweight with a price target of $438, citing strong demand for its luxury models despite a year of value compression.

Generac Holdings' shares rose 2% following plans to acquire a facility in Illinois to expand its power generator capacity.

Conversely, energy stocks fell sharply as U.S. oil prices dropped 5% to around $80 per barrel, influenced by a U.S.-Iran deal that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, leading to declines in companies like APA and Devon Energy.

Firefly Aerospace and Rocket Lab saw gains after being upgraded by KeyBanc, recovering from previous declines. Freeport-McMoRan's stock rose over 1% as gold prices increased more than 3%, driven by investor interest in gold amid geopolitical tensions
