Dow holds top spot as component math favors blue chips; Nasdaq lags

The Dow gained 133.78 points, or 0.26%, to 52,452.98, according to Reuters’ U.S. market page with LSEG data, delayed by at least 15 minutes. The S&P 500 added 9.08 points, or 0.12%, at 7,508.44.

The Nasdaq Composite finished up 398.23 points, or 1.54%, at 26,218.37.

The Dow tracks 30 large U.S. firms and weights them by share price, S&P Dow Jones Indices says.

Nasdaq Drops After Hours as AI Stocks and Chip Names Fall

Nasdaq Drops After Hours as AI Stocks and Chip Names Fall

US stocks fell on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both closing at their lowest in more than a week after chip stocks tumbled. The moves ended the relative calm that followed last week’s Middle East de-escalation. According to MarketWatch, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.00%, the S&P 500 lost 1.31%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.04%. Chips are now where the pressure sits for the market. Investors have leaned on artificial-intelligence stocks for most of this year’s gains, so when those names get repriced, indexes react quickly. That’s even more the case as some traders bet on more Fed rate hikes.

Dow Jones (.DJI) Gains as Alphabet Drags on Nasdaq

Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up on Monday, outperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq as traders moved into industrials and banks and took profits in Alphabet and other big tech stocks.

That design let the Dow hold up better than tech this week.

Caterpillar’s AI power trade gets fresh proof as Microsoft-Chevron deal taps Solar Turbines

IRVING, Texas, June 22, 2026, 11:03 CDT Caterpillar was pulled deeper into the artificial-intelligence power trade on Monday after Chevron said a Caterpillar unit would help supply capacity for Project Kilby, a 2.67-gigawatt natural-gas power development tied to a Microsoft-operated data center in West Texas. The project gives the heavy-equipment maker a concrete place in one of the largest U.S. co-located power-and-compute plans disclosed so far.

Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) rises as Caterpillar, Visa lift blue chips while Nasdaq slips

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose on Monday morning, beating the broader S&P 500 and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite, as industrial and financial shares did more of the work than the headline index move suggested. LSEG data on Reuters showed the Dow up 214.78 points, or 0.42%, at 51,779.48, while the S&P 500 was up 0.11% and the Nasdaq was down 0.40%; the figures were delayed by at least 15 minutes. The session mattered because U.S. shares reopened into regular trading after Friday’s Juneteenth closure, with investors trying to decide whether easing Middle East risk can hold down oil prices and inflation pressure. The NYSE lists Juneteenth National Independence Day as a Friday, June 19 market holiday in 2026, and its core cash-equity session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.

Reuters said U.S. stocks were already moving higher after losses on Wednesday, even before Trump’s announcement. Oil prices fell hard after the news.

Dow Jones Recovers, Inflation Keeps Fed Jitters in Play

Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked up Thursday, with traders stepping in to buy after this week’s steep drop.

Caterpillar Slips, Drags Down Dow as AI Rally Gets Tested

Caterpillar Slips, Drags Down Dow as AI Rally Gets Tested

Caterpillar Inc. shares fell hard Wednesday, putting pressure on the Dow Jones Industrial Average as the stock retreated after flirting with record highs days earlier. CAT was last seen at $858.12, off $56.58, or 6.2%. Shares changed hands between $855.13 and $911.91 during the session. Because the Dow is price-weighted, big moves in stocks like Caterpillar, with higher prices, move the index more than lower-priced names. Dow's early drop had Caterpillar and Honeywell at the center. Earlier Wednesday, MarketWatch said those two names were responsible for about 386 points of the Dow’s 663-point morning fall. Each $1 in a Dow stock shifts the index by 6.16 points, according to their math. Caterpillar moved the needle more.

Caterpillar is back on investors’ radar and is moving shares of the Dow again, thanks to its heavy price and its read on construction, mining, and power-equipment demand. The Dow’s price-weighting gives outsized influence to the biggest movers. Caterpillar shares jumped $45.50, or 5.3%, Tuesday, and MarketWatch put the company alongside Cisco as top reasons behind the Dow’s 289-point gain.

Dow Jones Pulls Back as Hot CPI and $100 Oil Test the 50,000 Trade

Dow Jones Pulls Back as Hot CPI and $100 Oil Test the 50,000 Trade

Late in the morning, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped, giving back gains from the same playbook that pushed it close to 50,000: heavyweight industrials, financials, and growth-tied blue chips, all riding hopes of a gentle inflation backdrop. By 10:00 a.m. ET, the Dow was down 297.98 points, sitting at 49,406.49. The DIA ETF, which tracks the benchmark, showed a 0.61% drop to $494.06 as of a 10:53 a.m. ET read. No mystery here. April’s consumer prices climbed 0.6% from March—up 3.8% on the year. Strip out food and energy, and “core CPI” came in 2.8% higher versus a year ago. The Fed zeroes in on core, seeing it as a sharper gauge of persistent inflation. This latest read didn’t deliver the tidy disinflation narrative investors had been hoping for.

Dow Jones Today: Why the Dow Is Rising as Oil Falls and Earnings Take Over

Stocks rebounded Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average clawing back some ground lost in Monday’s slide. The Dow added 265.17 points, or 0.54%, pushing it to 49,207.07, according to Reuters market data. The S&P 500 advanced 0.80%, and the Nasdaq Composite notched a 0.93% gain. Brent crude slumped 3.47% to $110.47, easing pressure from earlier oil spikes. Why does the rebound stand out? It comes right after the Dow plunged 1.13% to 48,941.90, a move sparked by renewed tension in the Strait of Hormuz—the key Gulf chokepoint for oil shipments. Fresh reports of conflict in the Middle East rattled risk appetite, sending the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower as well.

  • Singapore’s Next 50: 3 SGX Billionaire Stocks Lift Dividends on Strong Cash
    July 2, 2026, 3:11 AM EDT. Hong Leong Asia, SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC), and a third unnamed SGX-listed stock have all raised dividends as cash piles held up. Hong Leong Asia led on free cash flow, doubling FCF to S$450.5 million and used that to fund a 25% jump in dividends. SIAEC, with net cash of S$559.4 million, lifted dividends by 22.2%, even as free cash flow went negative S$10.6 million after contract asset growth. Some dividend hikes came on new cash flow, others out of cash on hand as FCF shrank. Investors watching these names may want to distinguish increases supported by growing cash flow from those paid for by drawing down balances.
