Aug 13, 2026 S&P 500 Reaches Record Intraday High As Crude Oil Prices Plunge Bullish

Aug 12, 2026 Nasdaq, S&P 500 Close In Positive Territory But Dow Edges Lower Neutral

🤖 AI Overview

PARAGRAPH 1
On Wednesday, the Nasdaq and S&P 500 closed positive, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) edged lower. The tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.3%, partly offsetting earlier weekly losses. The S&P 500 rose 0.2%, reaching its best level since June 10. Meanwhile, the DJIA slipped 0.1%, weighed down by declines in Boeing and Nike. On Thursday, the S&P 500 hit a new intraday high, driven by strength in tech stocks, with the Nasdaq reaching its best level in over two months.

PARAGRAPH 2
The tech sector led the market's advance, with the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) up 1.3% on Thursday. This was partly due to a retreat in crude oil prices, which eased inflation concerns and boosted investor sentiment. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) fell 2.5% as U.S. crude futures dropped. The DJIA's underperformance was driven by its higher exposure to energy and industrial stocks.

PARAGRAPH 3
Investors will be closely watching the upcoming U.S. inflation data, due on Friday, to gauge the Federal Reserve's next move. Additionally, earnings season is set to pick up steam, with major tech companies like Apple and Amazon reporting next week. Technical levels to watch include the 50-day moving averages for the major indices, which could act as resistance or support depending on market direction.
