Nasdaq record shows megacap gains outweighing elevated Treasury yields.
Context
What happened: The Nasdaq Composite hit a record as megacap technology gains offset elevated Treasury yields. The S&P 500 rose while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped.
Key numbers: Dow fell 32.46 points, or 0.06%, to 51,144.50. S&P 500 gained 35.44 points, or 0.46%, to 7,758.16.
Why it matters: Nvidia traded near its record high and Meta, Microsoft and Tesla each gained more than 1%, while chip stocks lagged. Peter Andersen of Andersen Capital Management said the market still has enough momentum to push through further rate increases.
