US Stock Market Today: Dow Slips Below 50,000 as S&P 500, Nasdaq Fight to Hold Record Highs

US Stock Market Today: Dow Slips Below 50,000 as S&P 500, Nasdaq Fight to Hold Record Highs

Stocks lost ground by midday Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average couldn’t hold 50,000, S&P 500 dipped after an early record attempt, and tech continued to carry much of the load as oil prices eased. Index ETFs tracked the move: SPY dropped roughly 0.2%, QQQ hovered close to unchanged, while DIA slipped 0.5% as of 12:48 p.m. ET. This shift stands out with Wall Street already trading near the top. Fresh records for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq followed upbeat earnings and a pullback in crude prices, which had cooled some inflation concerns. But on Thursday, buyers showed less appetite for pushing up the entire market.

US Stock Market Today: S&P 500 and Nasdaq Hit Records as AMD Rally, Oil Drop Shake Wall Street

Stocks barreled higher Wednesday, driving the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to new records.

By 12:30 p.m. ET, the Dow climbed 510.85 points, or 1.04%, landing at 49,809.10. The S&P 500 advanced 82.14 points, or 1.13%, to 7,341.36. Nasdaq surged 395.68 points, or 1.56%, to 25,717.84. Three tailwinds hit the market in quick succession: upbeat corporate earnings, renewed appetite for AI-focused stocks, and a sudden slide in oil prices that might help cool inflation. All this ahead of Friday's nonfarm payrolls, the key U.S. jobs data that often shapes forecasts for Fed moves.

QQQ Stock Rises Before the Open as AI Chip Rally Puts Nasdaq Records Back in Play

Invesco QQQ Trust ETF climbed early Wednesday in premarket action, buoyed by a rally in Nasdaq futures following a bullish forecast from Advanced Micro Devices that energized the AI trade. QQQ last traded at $681.61, up roughly 1.3% versus its prior close. Nasdaq 100 futures showed gains ahead of the open. This shift is significant: QQQ sits at the heart of how traders bet on the Nasdaq-100, tracking the 100 largest non-financial Nasdaq names. It's an ETF—essentially a stock-like bundle of holdings—that hands investors instant access to heavyweight growth and tech players, skipping the hassle of picking individual shares.

Sivers Semiconductors Stock Jumps 33% as Nasdaq Listing Clock Starts Ticking

Sivers Semiconductors AB surged nearly 33% in Stockholm on Monday, with shares quoted at about SEK 50.50 to 50.75 in early afternoon deals. The rally comes as investors shrugged off news of a postponed annual report, zeroing in on an upcoming shareholder vote that could pave the way for a capital raise and potential U.S. listing. This comes into play as shareholders have until Tuesday to inform the company if they're planning to show up or vote by mail at Sivers’ extraordinary general meeting on May 11. The agenda: a directed share issue, essentially a private placement targeting institutional and qualified investors.

Sivers Semiconductors’ Nasdaq Push Faces a May Deadline After Report Delay

Sivers Semiconductors’ Nasdaq Push Faces a May Deadline After Report Delay

Sivers Semiconductors AB is staring down a tight week: shareholders must respond to a notice by May 5, ahead of a May 11 vote on the chipmaker’s planned 125 million Swedish crown directed share issue at an extraordinary meeting. The Kista-based company has also delayed its 2025 annual report, shifting attention to its U.S. audit work and a potential Nasdaq New York dual listing. The schedule is getting complicated: the share vote, the annual report delay, and the U.S. listing review are now interconnected. Sivers explained the annual report will come out May 15 instead of April 27, citing the need for an “audit uplift”—essentially extra work to bring its 2024 and 2025 consolidated accounts up to U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards, which are required for U.S. public market filings.

US Stock Market Today: Why the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Are Hitting Fresh Highs

US Stock Market Today: Why the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Are Hitting Fresh Highs

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite notched new highs on Friday, carrying forward Wall Street’s April comeback. Apple and software names did the heavy lifting, more than offsetting a slight dip in the Dow. According to Reuters market data, the S&P 500 climbed 0.48% to 7,243.34, the Nasdaq jumped 0.96% to 25,131.26, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.11% to 49,599.01. It’s a pivotal moment: investors are essentially betting that corporate profits will keep propping up the market, even as oil prices climb, tariffs loom, and interest rates turn less favorable. Analysts are now projecting S&P 500 earnings for the first quarter to jump 27.8% from a year ago — that’s the fastest growth since Q4 of 2021, according to LSEG IBES data.

US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Slides as AI Selloff Hits Nvidia, Fed and Oil Risks Loom

Nasdaq Composite slumped Tuesday morning, pulling major U.S. equity benchmarks into the red after renewed worries about artificial intelligence demand rattled chipmakers and names tied to the cloud. By 11:49 a.m. ET, Nasdaq had dropped 1.44%. The S&P 500 was off 0.78%, while the Dow managed a slim 0.12% gain, according to Reuters. The shift grabbed attention, given how much the latest Wall Street rally has ridden the AI wave. A Wall Street Journal piece said OpenAI fell short of some internal milestones for weekly users and revenue, sparking fresh doubt among investors about whether the billions sunk into high-powered chips and sprawling data centers will deliver profits on schedule.

  • TSX jumps 110 points on tech, materials; U.S. chipmakers weigh on Nasdaq
    July 2, 2026, 5:21 PM EDT. Canada's S&P/TSX composite added 109.68 points to 34,966.67 on gains in technology and basic materials. Trade talks on the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) came into focus. Analyst Brianne Gardner pointed to potential in energy and defense if trade ties are modernized. Higher gold, up to US$4,125.70 an ounce, lifted the materials segment. In the U.S., markets were mixed: Dow was at a record, S&P 500 stayed flat, while the Nasdaq slid as chipmakers like Micron dropped 5.5% and Nvidia slipped 1.4% on AI growth uncertainties. U.S. employers added 57,000 jobs in June, missing forecasts. That could take pressure off the Fed as oil prices moved around.
