Overview

  • The Dow jumped 559 points to 47,927.96 for a record close, the S&P 500 edged higher, and the Nasdaq slipped as mega‑cap AI names retreated.
  • Optimism rose after the Senate passed a stopgap funding bill, with the House expected to vote as soon as Wednesday before the measure goes to President Donald Trump.
  • Investors rotated into health care, energy and consumer staples, boosting the less tech‑exposed Dow as high‑valuation tech shares lost momentum.
  • Nvidia fell about 3% after SoftBank disclosed it sold its entire stake last month, CoreWeave sank after trimming its outlook, and AMD’s upbeat data‑center forecast lifted its shares premarket.
  • Private payroll trackers pointed to labor softening, and traders priced roughly a 63% chance of a December Fed rate cut, with futures higher early Wednesday on shutdown and policy hopes.
