US stock market today: Dow rises, S&P 500 edges up as Nvidia leads chip rally; Tesla falls

Wall Street ended mixed on Friday, with the Dow snapping a four-day losing streak to start 2026 as chipmakers and industrials rallied, while consumer discretionary shares weighed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 311.99 points, or 0.67%, to 48,383.22; the S&P 500 added 12.52 points, or 0.18%, to 6,858.02; and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 5.30 points, or 0.02%, to 23,236.69. Recent selling also snuffed out hopes of a “Santa Claus rally” — a tendency for stocks to firm in the last five trading days of December and the first two of January — and Bank of America strategist Savita Subramanian said, “Stocks trade expensive on 18 of 20 measures.” Reuters

Why Caterpillar stock is riding an AI data-center generator boom

Demand for Caterpillar’s natural-gas generators to power artificial intelligence data centers is increasingly driving its shares, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, describing the stock as up about 62% this year. One Utah project led by Joule Capital Partners is set to use more than 700 Caterpillar generators to support six data centers, the paper said. The Journal said Caterpillar is investing $725 million to expand a Lafayette, Indiana plant and plans to more than double turbine-engine production by 2030 after power-and-energy sales rose 22% to $7.8 billion in 2024.
