Stock Market Update Monday August 4, 2025 Equities staged a strong rebound today, reversing Friday’s decline with a broad-based rally led by the technology sector and a notable resurgence in small-cap stocks. The session’s gains effectively offset Friday’s losses, though markets remain one solid performance away from reclaiming the mid-week highs posted last week.
Daily Performance:
S&P 500 (SPX): +1.5%
Nasdaq-100 (QQQ): +1.9%
Russell 2000 (IWM): +2.1%
Away From Stocks: U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield (US10Y) edged lower, now trading just below the 4.20% level—suggesting modest demand for safety amid the equity rally. Commodities were mixed: crude oil pulled back, while gold caught a bid. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) slipped back below the psychologically important 99 handle.
In summary, while equities fully retraced Friday’s downside move, the broader cross-asset picture remains more cautious, with bond and commodity markets showing little confirmation of the risk-on tone.
