  "account": "Stock market indices rose slightly after opening on Thursday. Technology stocks made a comeback after a few turbulent days, pushing the tech-heavy Nasdaq up by 1.69 percent at the closing bell. Friday saw only minor movements in pre-market trading. Oil prices were lower than in previous weeks, with Brent crude trading at $104.6 a barrel, according to Infront, a 0.6 dollar increase since midnight. Developments in the Middle East and global interest rates are expected to influence markets in the coming weeks, according to Roberto Scholtes from Singular Bank. The risk of disruptions to energy supply remains a focus following Saudi Aramco's notice to some European refineries that they will not receive crude oil next month, as reported by news agency. Energy prices and expectations for monetary policy will continue to be the main drivers of the market until the third-quarter earnings season begins, Scholtes said. The U.S. mid-term elections will gradually gain more focus, especially if leading candidates launch bold political proposals. Streaming giant Netflix fell more than three percent in pre-market trading. The movement came after Wells Fargo downgraded the stock to underweight, according to CNBC. Analysts at the bank say concerns over \"engagement trends\" and weaker content in the second half of 2026 will lead to lower margin improvement in 2027 and 2028. Investor legend Warren Buffett has stepped down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, passing the title to his son Howard Buffett. Bloomberg estimates Buffett's net worth at around $145 billion, placing him at 10th on the list of the world's richest people. At the start of August, Berkshire Hathaway's earnings report showed a profit of $12.9 billion, up from $11.2 billion in the same quarter last year. AI company Anthropic reported on Thursday that its language model Claude accounted for 26 percent of the company's artificial intelligence (AI) research and development. The information comes shortly after several industry leaders have warned that development is moving too fast and a slowdown is needed. Concerns over AI capable of self-improvement are part of the debate. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is among top voices raising the alarm. The company says it wants to minimize the gap between research laboratories and the public by better measuring AI development, reporting on it publicly, and giving society a chance to decide how this information is used, according to the company. Anthropic plans to go public, which could happen as early as the fall. Tech giants are expected to perform well in early trading.",
