The Dow Jones surged 650 points to a new high of 54,740, and the S&P 500 also reached an all-time high, rising 0.7% to 7,790. However, tech stocks showed weakness with the Nasdaq up only 0.35%, dragged down by a 10% plunge in SpaceX shares after its first earnings report since listing, wiping $170 billion from its market value. AMD shares also fell despite strong revenue forecasts. Optimism around a potential Iran-Oman shipping agreement through the Strait of Hormuz and easing oil prices helped lift market sentiment. Investors are now focused on upcoming earnings from major companies like Eli Lilly, Disney, and Uber, while the ADP jobs report showed slower US private-sector hiring, potentially giving the Federal Reserve more room to cut rates.
