Stock market today - towards the close

investingLive.com Stock Market Update

Market Tone

    Full Day: Broad indices leaned slightly green overall with modest gains across financials, energy, and parts of technology. Defensive retail names (WMT, COST) held steady, while healthcare dragged with LLY leading losses.

    Last 4 Hours: Leadership narrowed — mega caps cooled, semiconductors stayed heavy, and the tape rotated defensively.

    Last Hour: A clear shift to mixed red as profit-taking hit large caps, with healthcare and semis still weak, but energy and financials holding green.

    Takeaways by Timeframe

    Daily View: Market breadth was modestly positive. Energy and financials supported the tape, but gains were capped by healthcare weakness and muted performance in mega caps.

    Last 4 Hours: The market shifted defensive. Tech leadership narrowed, with semis and equipment pressured, and healthcare leaders fading hard.

    Last Hour: A small risk-off lean. Investors took profits in mega caps, defensive sectors (staples, REITs) held up best, and semis stayed red.

    For Stock Traders and Investors

    Watch semiconductor equipment (KLAC, AMAT, LRCX) — still the cleanest short setups if weakness continues.

    Healthcare reversal: LLY turned from strong green intraday to sharp red close, dragging the sector. Potential for further rotation out of pharma/biotech near-term.

    Financials & energy resilience: JPM, CVX, and XOM show relative strength that can anchor the tape if mega caps stay flat.

    Mega cap tech needs to stabilize (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA) for indices to re-expand upside momentum tomorrow.
