Key Points

  • Major US indices closed down, with the Dow Jones losing about 1.61% and the S&P 500 down 0.57%.
  • Information Technology and Energy sectors were among the few gainers, while Consumer Staples and Industrials lagged.
  • Top gainers included Booking Holdings (+8.46%) and Broadcom (+4.79%), driven by analyst upgrades and strong earnings/AI chip outlook respectively.
  • Laggards included Roche (-6.34%) due to underwhelming obesity drug trial results and StubHub (-12.39%) after a weak forecast, partly attributed to the absence of a Taylor Swift tour impact.
  • Treasury yields were up for a fourth consecutive day, indicating a repricing of Fed expectations.
