The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes both experienced gains in early trading, predominantly driven by consumer discretionary and real estate sectors. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a minor decline of 0.25% to settle at 42,409.90. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq climbed to 5,814.36 and 18,401.81, respectively.

Across the Atlantic, European shares rose by 0.18%, poised to break a streak of losses. The market was buoyed by positive earnings from firms like Renault, Unilever, and Hermes. Michael Farr, president and CEO at Farr, Miller & Washington, observed that markets seemed to pause after significant recent surges, remaining close to all-time highs.
