Index Closes
S&P 500 (SPX): 7,773.99, +51.27 (+0.66%)
Nasdaq Composite (COMP): 27,477.31, +286.45 (+1.05%) — record close
Dow Jones (DJI): 51,267.90, +90.94 (+0.18%)
Russell 2000 (RTY): 2,853.27, +20.38 (+0.72%)
Nasdaq-100 (NDX): +0.87% — record close
Mega-cap tech led, with the Nasdaq-100 and Composite both printing records even as long-end yields pushed higher. ISM Services came in at 55.9 (vs 55.4) with the prices-paid gauge at 74, the highest since July 2022, citing tariffs and diesel. Small caps kept pace with the S&P; the Dow trailed on a lack of tech weight.
Sector Heatmap
Sector-level percentage moves were not available from public sources at publish time, so this is directional only.
Winners: Technology and semis-linked megacaps led; Financials/Payments firm (Visa +2.53%); Healthcare pockets (Moderna +6.95%)
Losers: Homebuilders under pressure (Lennar -6.73%) on the rate spike; Transports soft (C.H. Robinson -10.85%); Consumer discretionary restaurants/apparel weak (Chipotle -4.64%, Nike -2.88%)
Rotation was two-tiered: growth bid on softer Fed-path expectations while rate-sensitives and freight/consumer names gave ground as the 10-year pushed to 5.3%+.
Notable Movers / Themes
PTC (+33%): Schneider Electric agreed to buy it for $22.6B; Bentley Systems rallied in sympathy (~+9%).
Brazil ADRs: Flavio Bolsonaro's first-round lead sparked a huge rally in Brazilian assets (EWZ ~+13%, Ibovespa +8.6%, Nu Holdings, Itau, Bradesco sharply higher).
C.H. Robinson (-10.85%): Heavy freight-broker selloff.
Lennar (-6.73%): Homebuilders hit by 10-year at a 52-week high.
Nike (-2.88%): S&P downgrade weighed.
After-Hours Earnings & News
Light tape on earnings; no major AMC reports flagged. Levi Strauss, Applied Digital, PepsiCo and Delta Air Lines report later this week.
Key Levels for Tomorrow's Open
SPX: 7,774 close is the pivot; hold above keeps the record-chasing bias, 7,750 is first support.
NDX: Records in hand; a failure back below prior highs would flag exhaustion.
DJI: 51,268 pivot; 51,000 is the round-number line.
RTY: 2,853 pivot; 2,836 intraday area is first support.
10Y yield: 5.32% is the swing factor; a push higher tests equity multiples.
Macro Context Going Into Tuesday
Focus shifts to the Fed's September meeting minutes. With services prices at multi-year highs and the 10-year near 5.3%, the minutes' tone on inflation and the path of cuts matters. Commodities: gold +0.65% to ~$4,190, silver +2.9%, WTI -0.5% to ~$90.7, Brent ~$102.9.
