SPX, NDX Close Higher...Real Estate, Energy and Consumer Staples Led all Sectors Higher...INTC Led NDX Again...


© 2025


SPX +36.18, 5,675, opened flat after monthly Retail Sales came in less than expected but positive and higher than January’s report.  SPX trended higher on Monday and closed higher.

Breadth strengthened moderately as index ETFs gained and volatility continued to fall. Mega caps were weaker and institutional buying was generally stronger than institutional selling with noticeable exceptions in TSLA and NVDA where decliner net change capital was noticeably higher.

The DJI, 41,841 +0.85%, opened higher and closed higher for a second day.  NDX +.55% opened higher but lagged the other index ETFs due to mega cap weakness.

INTC +1.64, +6.82%, rose for the third straight day after naming Lip-Bu Tan as the new CEO last Thursday.


Mega caps BRK/B, TSM, AAPL, MSFT rose and META, AVGO, GOOGL, AMZN, NVDA, TSLA fell on Monday.
