Stock Market Update Thursday September 4, 2025 Equities extended their rally today, closing just shy of record highs as investors looked past lingering macro concerns amid a continued slide in Treasury yields ahead of tomorrow’s pivotal Jobs Report. The advance over the past two sessions has been powered by some of the “quieter” members of the Mag7, with Alphabet and Apple providing leadership yesterday and Amazon carrying the baton today. The S&P 500 closed precisely at the key 6,500 level. For the session: SPX +0.8%, QQQ +0.9%, IWM +1.3%.
Away From Stocks: Treasuries sustained their bull-flattening momentum, with the 2-year and 30-year yields easing by two and four basis points to 3.59% and 4.86%, respectively.
Commodities and alternatives saw mixed action: WTI crude settled in the low $63s, gold retraced to $3,545 per ounce, and Bitcoin slipped back toward the $110,000 handle. Meanwhile, equity volatility remained subdued, with the VIX finishing just above 15.
