Dow surges nearly 700 points for record close as Big Tech stocks rise, oil prices slide

Live updates

The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to a record close on Monday as shares of major tech companies popped on the first day of August trading, while oil prices declined after President Donald Trump called off planned strikes against Iran.

The Dow jumped 693.38 points or 1.32%, to end the day at 53,178.41. The S&P 500 gained 1.48% to end at 7,600.50. The broad-market index is about 0.3% away from the all-time high it reached in early June. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.13% to 25,913.90.

The communications services and tech sectors were the driving forces behind the market’s advance. Meta Platforms surged 6% on the day. Amazon also rose more than 4%, hitting a record $3 trillion market capitalization and posting a new closing high. Nvidia, meanwhile, popped almost 3%, while Alphabet and Microsoft climbed close to 5% each.

Monday’s action marked a sharp about-face from tech’s rocky July performance, in which the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) tanked nearly 8% while investors grew nervous over companies’ spending around AI.

However, investors have once again turned bullish on technology stocks as stronger-than-expected earnings roll in, Jed Ellerbroek, a portfolio manager at Argent Capital Management, told CNBC.

A hedge fund just got wiped out. A young manager who leveraged into the semiconductors with triple ETFs blew up hard enough that Citadel bought his distressed assets — and Gareth's view is simple: where there's one cockroach, there are many. That forced deleveraging is why the chips are pressured again after SanDisk's 40% two-day rip. Meanwhile oil is down as much as 9% after Trump backed off strikes on Iran, pulling yields in and giving stocks a bid. On today's Trading Game Plan, Gareth maps oil's next target, the joint US-Japan yen intervention, and the SpaceX measured move.

📐 TODAY'S GAME PLAN

🔴 US OIL — Down as much as 9% after strike threats were walked back. Gareth banked the short at his multi-factor level and sees a trail toward $70, with midterm politics pushing the same way.
🟢 SPY — Futures up 0.6% on the oil drop. Last week's close below the 2021 trend line never confirmed, so it was a fake-out. Watch 7,555–7,560 for a breakout; jobs data this week sets September Fed odds.
🔴 SEMIS / SNDK / MU — The deleveraging is epic, potentially hundreds of billions. SanDisk ripped 40% in two days off the round-number pierce, gave it back, and is lower again. Margin calls mean more pressure ahead.
🔴 30-YR / 10-YR YIELD — The 10-Year eases to 4.68% on oil, but the 30-Year is still at 2007 levels. September hike odds slipped as the bond market reads Warsh as bark, no bite.
🟢 DXY / USD-JPY — The dollar tagged key trend-line support and should bounce. The dollar-yen collapsed on intervention — and not just Japan: the US intervened jointly, nearly unprecedented, and a major reason he is a gold bull.
🔵 SPACEX — A measured move into tomorrow's earnings and a roughly 100-million-share unlock. Gareth watches $96–$97 as his buy zone below $100.
🔵 GOLD / SILVER — Gold retested the wedge trend line then pulled back as the dollar bounced; the wedge comes to a head by mid-August, so it must break within two weeks. Silver looks weak and must hold $54.80.
🔴 NATGAS / BITCOIN — Natural gas flat, with one more move down into spot support expected. Bitcoin struggles below its trend line; he wants a close above $63K and accumulates near $50K.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAY: Leverage does not unwind quietly. One blown-up fund means forced selling across the group — which is why beaten-down chips get sold into every bounce until the deleveraging finishes.

NEW YORK, Aug 3 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks kicked off ​August on a strong note to send the Dow Industrials to a closing record high, as signs of de-escalating U.S.-Iran tensions pulled ‌down oil prices and Treasury yields in a busy week for earnings and economic data.

Crude prices settled down about 5% after U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that talks with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz would take place on Monday, though Iran disputed that talks were planned.
