S&P 500 and Nasdaq Show Resilience as Bulls Remain in Control

Markets are quietly climbing higher, and the tone remains constructive. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Compositecontinue to trade near their respective all-time highs, supported by strong earnings, falling bond yields, and renewed investor optimism around technology and artificial intelligence.

At the time of writing, the S&P 500 (SPX) is hovering around 6,037, just below its all-time high of 6,144, while the Nasdaq Composite trades near 19,660, less than 2% from its record peak.
