Nasdaq Hits Record as AI Buzz Lifts Tech, Dow Slips on Energy Fears
IXIC sits 32% above its 52-week low of $20,690.249.
Summary
The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.45% to 27,244.28, another record high, as AI enthusiasm drove large tech gains. The Dow fell 185 points and the S&P 500 was flat, reflecting lingering energy inflation concerns. Oil dropped for a fifth day to $94.59 after reports Iran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz, later denied. This follows a volatile September marked by Middle East escalation and a Fed rate hike; today's tech-led advance suggests rotation back into growth names.
