NYSE Today: Dow Climbs, S&P 500 Near Record as Weak Jobs Data Boosts Fed Cut Bets (Dec. 3, 2025)
Wall Street ended Wednesday’s session mixed but still parked near record territory, as traders on the New York Stock Exchange weighed surprisingly weak jobs data against growing confidence that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again next week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained about 0.5% to roughly 47,717, not far from its all‑time high. The S&P 500edged about 0.2% higher to around 6,842, keeping the benchmark within roughly 1% of its late‑October record. The Nasdaq Composite hovered near 23,400, finishing essentially flat after spending most of the day under pressure from big‑tech weakness. Investing.com+1
