Stock Market Today

  • Stocks Rise on Strong US Manufacturing Data, Economic Optimism
    February 3, 2026, 3:38 AM EST. US stocks climbed Monday as the S&P 500 rose 0.54%, Dow Jones 1.05%, and Nasdaq 100 0.73%, driven by solid US manufacturing data. The January ISM manufacturing index surged to 52.6, its fastest growth in over 3 years, beating expectations. This boosted market optimism despite mixed signals from other sectors. Chipmakers and AI infrastructure firms supported gains, while energy stocks fell more than 4% as crude oil prices dropped on easing geopolitical tensions. Bitcoin slumped over 7%, pressuring crypto stocks amid significant liquidations. China's manufacturing and services PMIs declined unexpectedly, weighing on global growth sentiment. The ongoing US government shutdown also tempered investor mood, though a resolution vote looms. Market focus shifts onto upcoming tariff updates, earnings reports, and economic indicators throughout the week including ADP employment and consumer sentiment data.
