  • S&P 500 and Nasdaq Hit Record Highs; Apple Shares Boost Market as Oil Prices Fall
    May 1, 2026, 5:41 PM EDT. The S&P 500 touched a new all-time intraday high, closing at 7,230.12, boosted by a 3% gain in Apple shares after stronger-than-expected fiscal quarter results and a positive revenue outlook. The Nasdaq Composite also reached a record close at 25,114.44. Conversely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.31%, ending at 49,499.27. Oil prices fell sharply due to renewed tensions over Middle East peace talks, with U.S. crude settling at $101.94 a barrel. Despite geopolitical concerns, strong corporate earnings and hopes for easing regional conflict underpin a bullish outlook for equities, as noted by Mercer Advisors' David Krakauer. Investors remain cautiously optimistic that earnings growth and a potential resolution to Middle East tensions will sustain market momentum.
