Dow, S&P 500 end at records because investors feel good about the economy — beyond the AI boom
Investors were moving away from tech stocks, and using that money to push other parts of the market to new records
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed to another record on Friday as investors continued to rotate out of technology shares and into value-oriented sectors.
Investors languished in the doldrums early this week, but once the Federal Reserve came to rescue with a rate cut equities rocketed upward.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average remained on pace to post a weekly gain, despite falling on Friday. The Dow was down 0.4% in afternoon trading, but the blue-chip stock index was still heading for a weekly gain of 1.
Stock futures were mixed Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ticking higher and the S&P 500 slipping after each set a closing record, while the Nasdaq pointed sharply lower as tech shares continued to decline on AI bubble fears.
