Here are five key updates to kick off the trading day:

A rally yesterday was driven by a rebound in Big Tech stocks and falling oil prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged nearly 700 points, marking a new record close.
2. McDonald’s Moves Higher
Shares of McDonald’s are up before the open after reporting mixed Q2 results. The fast-food giant beat earnings estimates but missed on revenue, sparking investor interest.
3. AI in Focus
Representatives from artificial intelligence firms will meet with the Trump administration today to discuss a new cybersecurity review framework for advanced AI models.
4. Cyclospora Outbreak Update
Michigan officials confirmed two deaths linked to the cyclospora outbreak yesterday. Both individuals had underlying health issues. While cyclospora is usually not life-threatening, fatalities are rare in the U.S.
5. Small Cars Making a Comeback?
