Dow Jones Today: Caterpillar Sparks 700-Point Rally as Wall Street Shrugs Off Oil Shock

Dow Jones Today: Caterpillar Sparks 700-Point Rally as Wall Street Shrugs Off Oil Shock

The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged roughly 700 points Thursday, with Caterpillar out front as investors picked up industrials and defensive names. Big Tech wobbled after a busy stretch of earnings updates. By 11:54 a.m. ET, the Dow was showing a 686.88-point gain, or 1.41%, at 49,548.69. Later readings brought the rally close to that 700-point mark. The Dow’s outperformance is drawing attention right as Wall Street faces a tricky stretch: investors are weighing strong April gains against stubbornly high oil prices, Middle East war worries, and a Fed with scant room to ease. “There’s a big tug of war,” said Angelo Kourkafas, senior global investment strategist at Edward Jones. “But the earnings side is winning so far.”

Dow Jones Today: Industrial Average Climbs as Oil Retreats, but Inflation Risk Keeps Wall Street Wary

Dow Jones Today: Industrial Average Climbs as Oil Retreats, but Inflation Risk Keeps Wall Street Wary

By 12:40 p.m. ET on Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 247.66 points, or 0.52%, at 48,155.97, tacking on to Wednesday’s massive 1,326-point rally as new indications of easing Middle East tensions calmed Wall Street nerves. The S&P 500 climbed 0.50%, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.60%. On Thursday, headlines continued to drive market moves. The prior day’s rally had followed a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, yet traders weren't convinced the truce would last, or that shipments through the Strait of Hormuz—responsible for roughly 20% of the world’s oil and gas—would resume typical volumes.

Jim Cramer Says Wednesday’s Rally Revealed What Stocks to Buy as Micron, Memory Names Stay in Focus

Jim Cramer Says Wednesday’s Rally Revealed What Stocks to Buy as Micron, Memory Names Stay in Focus

Jim Cramer pointed to Wednesday’s strong bounce in U.S. equities as a clear signal for investors: pay attention to which names lead on a relief rally. Among the standouts, the CNBC host mentioned Sherwin-Williams, Caterpillar, Home Depot, and Goldman Sachs—stocks that, he said, could see renewed institutional interest if Middle East tensions cool. The call comes with the market looking shaky again early Thursday. U.S. stock futures slipped roughly 0.4%, oil bounced back as the ceasefire appeared unsteady, and Reuters-polled economists saw the personal consumption expenditures index—PCE, the Fed’s chosen inflation metric—stuck at 2.8%.

US Stock Market Today: Dow Jones rises, S&P 500 stalls, Nasdaq slips as oil rebounds

Wall Street wobbled late Tuesday morning, with the momentum from Monday’s relief rally starting to fade. At 11:53 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 178.17 points, or 0.39%, sitting at 46,386.64. The S&P 500 ticked higher by 12.94 points, or 0.20%, to 6,593.94, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 44.61 points, or 0.20%, to 21,902.15. Forget the small moves—traders are still stuck on the same loop: war, oil, rates. Tehran’s rejection of talks with Washington sent Brent back over $100 a barrel, and now Fed futures show no cuts on the table for this year. The Strait of Hormuz, which handles roughly 20% of global oil and LNG shipments, is still mostly closed.
