SPX, NDX Close Higher...SPY, QQQ Reversal BO...Consumer Discretionary, Technology, Communication Services Lead Sectors...

© 2025

SPX +40.44, 5,525, opened flat, trended higher and made its highest close since April 2, after a better-than-expected Consumer Sentiment report.  The DJI, 40,113 +0.05%, and NDX +1.14% also closed higher for a fourth straight day. 

Breadth weakened as advancers decreased on the exchanges and in the indexes. Institutional buying, unwinding of hedges and falling volatility were visible in the technical again on Friday. Net advancing capital was significantly larger than net declining capital in the SPX and NDX.

CHTR +38.32, +11.43%, on EPS miss and revenue beat.

Friday session insight: Consumer Sentiment better than expected.
