Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures climb as Trump downplays Powell tensions
US stock futures climbed after President Trump visited the Federal Reserve and Wall Street digested the latest batch of corporate earnings. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F), the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F), and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) fluttered up 0.2%. Trump visited the Fed on Thursday afternoon to take a tour of its $2.5 billion renovation project, led by chair Jerome Powell. The president has spent weeks criticizing the project as too expensive, sparking speculation he might use it as a pretext to try to fire Powell for alleged mismanagement. During the tour, however, Trump indicated he wasn't considering firing the Fed chair. "To do that is a big move, and I just don't think it's necessary," he said. The president also downplayed his disagreements with Powell over interest rates, saying he believes the chair will "do the right thing." "I'd love him to lower interest rates," the president reiterated. Intel reported its earnings after the bell Thursday, beating Wall Street expectations on revenue. The company's stock turned negative, however, as CEO Lip-Bu Tan discussed layoffs and the cancelation of some factory plans. In day trading, the S&P 500 scored its fourth consecutive record high in a row as Google (GOOG) earnings boosted optimism about the promises of AI. Wall Street also continued to hope that the Trump administration will strike more trade deals before the president's Aug. 1 deadline, even as the risk of higher-than-expected baseline tariffs grows.

Next week brings more market-moving results from members of the "Magnificent Seven," including Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN). Oil prices climbed overnight Thursday, driven by renewed optimism over global trade negotiations, which bolstered confidence in economic growth and energy demand.

4 AI Prompts That Will Transform How You Create Presentations Forever
Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and specialized platforms, are revolutionizing presentation ... More creation by automating routine formatting tasks, allowing professionals to focus on creativity and communication. The need to occasionally create presentations, pitch decks and slides is a necessary, but often laborious and repetitive, fact of life. Fortunately for those who would rather spend their time flexing their creativity and communication skills than formatting slides to fit brand guidelines (or other repetitive tasks), it's an area where generative AI shines. Text, image generation and multi-modal tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are now great at handling mundane and routine elements of this work. And a wave of specialized platforms like Canva, Adobe Firefly, and Pitch have packaged generative AI into products that are immediately useful to anyone familiar with workplace productivity tools. But AI is no different from traditional computing in one important way—good output relies on the machine receiving good input from the user. So here are some tips, as well as some sample prompts, for anyone wanting to add this capability to their AI toolbox. Which Tools? Before we get started, it's worth noting that these tips aren't for any specific AI tool or application. They should be useful whether you're using chat-based bots like ChatGPT or a more specific genAI design platform like Canva. The idea is to give an overview of how genAI can be useful, which can be applied regardless of your choice of tool. Tips For Successful AI Presentations And Decks Start From The End: Begin with a clear picture of what you want to achieve, which ultimately means the key messages you want your audience to take from your deck. If you aren't sure what they should be, you can ask AI to help you work them out. Personalize Everything: Giving AI in-depth information about your audience—job titles, seniority, areas of expertise, etc—lets it create content tailored to them, without wasting their time with irrelevant information for other people. Define The Structure: When presenting big ideas, grab attention as quickly as possible by asking AI to help you structure the contents according to the 'reverse pyramid' principle. This will front-load the slides with your most important and exciting revelations, so your audience will see them when their attention is piqued at the start. Set The Rules: You can give the AI tool clear directions on branding, style, color schemes and design instructions like 'clean, minimalist look' or 'loud, attention-grabbing colors'. Telling Time: Not sure how many slides or how much information you need? Tell the AI how long the presentation should take to view, and it can work out these details for you. Give Examples: Providing your AI tool with examples of competitor decks or previous presentations that have worked well lets it understand what you're trying to achieve. Example Prompts For Better Presentations And Slide Decks Creates a storyboard that can be tweaked and fine-tuned alongside a human designer to create the perfect deck. Prompt: Please act as a business strategist and expert pitch-deck builder. Create a storyboard for a 12-page pitch deck targeted at persuading investors to back us. Ask me questions to gather the information you need, one at a time, then provide a storyboard for a deck presenting the information in the most engaging and persuasive way. Create visualizations from raw data that can be quickly dropped into slides and decks. Prompt: Act as an expert data analyst and communicator. Ask me for the raw data that you want analyzed, and for whom the insights are intended. Then pick the best methods, charts and visualizations to communicate the key or most relevant findings. Present one finding per slide, giving a headline insight, a visualization of the key data points relating to that insight, and explain the importance of the insight and any actions it suggests should be taken in straightforward, clear language. This creates notes that help you tailor your commentary to specific audiences. Prompt: Ask me to provide a slide, deck or presentation, then ask me who my intended audience is. Draft concise speaker notes, of a maximum length of 40 words, to accompany each slide. Each note should include a headline covering the single most important point the slide should land, bullet points highlighting the other major points, and a transition cue to the next slide. Use this with a chatbot with image generation to create templates that give your slides a consistent, on-brand look. Prompt: 'Act as a branding consultant. Ask me for our existing brand guidelines document, style guides, and the deck that needs branding. Apply the guidelines to create a new version of the deck that's in line with our corporate branding and style. Supercharge Your Deck Drafting And Design Remember, using AI well shouldn't mean using it as a replacement for your human creative skills. Instead, use it to become more efficient by bolstering your creativity and overcoming the sense of indecision or overwhelming choice we have when staring at a blank document. It doesn't take much practice to start using AI to build decks and presentations in more effective and efficient ways. And as it's something that we all have to do from time to time, it's a great opportunity to add a new AI skill to your toolbox.

3 parts of the market where AI hype is turning into real returns, according to Morgan Stanley
AI investments are starting to deliver as adoption gains momentum, Morgan Stanley says. Financials, real estate, and consumer sectors show significant increases in AI adoption. AI adopters are leading the stock market rally with more positive earnings revisions as well. Investors have been eager to know if the billions of dollars of AI investment are actually delivering a return for companies. Morgan Stanley thinks the answer is yes. The bank's latest version of its AI Adopter survey shows that AI exposure and adoption are clearly gaining steam. Over the last few months, the financials sector has seen AI-related gains. Among insurance companies, the amount of adopters increased from 48% to 71% since January 2025. For financial services companies, the amount of adopters increased from 66% to 73% in that same period. "In our proprietary survey of 400 companies adopting GenAI into their products, Financials companies showed the greatest amount of low-hanging opportunities across both cost and revenue lines," the bank wrote in its July 2025 edition of the AI Adopter survey. Companies in the sector have been investing heavily into AI capabilities to automate customer service and enhance risk and compliance protocols. Additionally, the real estate and consumer sectors showed the biggest rate of change in terms of AI adoption. Morgan Stanley found that almost 30% of consumer durables and apparel stocks increased their AI exposure, or their involvement with AI technologies. Around 10% of these consumer stocks experienced an increase in AI materiality, meaning that AI became more important to these stocks' core investment thesis. Overall, the percentage of consumer durables and apparel companies that Morgan Stanley qualifies as AI adopters increased from 20% to 44%. A large part of the AI adoption within the consumer sector comes from supply chain optimization — for example, retailers like Target and Walmart are using the technology to manage inventory. In the real estate sector, 32% of REITs are now more exposed to AI than they were in January. Roughly 37% of tasks across 525,000 roles in the public REIT and commercial real estate services sector could be automated, according to Ron Kamdem, Morgan Stanley's head of U.S. REITs and commercial real estate research. Leasing services, property management, and risk management are all areas in real estate that can be made more efficient by AI, with the biggest gains coming from automation in the brokers and services segment of the real estate industry. Companies that are exposed to AI are noticeably pulling ahead of those who haven't integrated the technology when it comes to earnings revisions, the bank added. "There are clear signs of alpha from AI materiality among companies — this can be seen in relative price performance and earnings revisions," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote. Going forward, the gap between companies that have successfully adopted AI and those that have not will only continue to grow. As the stock market continues to trend upward amid higher earnings revisions, AI adopters with high pricing power are leading the rally with higher earnings revisions, while companies disrupted by AI are seeing negative revisions, Morgan Stanley said.
