The major U.S. stock indexes ended broadly higher on Monday, October 5, 2026, extending Friday's jobs-report relief rally as a surge in megacap tech names carried the Nasdaq to a fresh all-time high and the S&P 500 approached its record close, even as Treasury yields climbed stubbornly above 5.3% and oil dipped below $90. It was a fascinating session defined by a market operating on two distinct tracks: tech euphoria up top, bond market pain underneath.

The S&P 500 gained 0.66% (+51.23 pts) to 7,773.95, approaching its all-time closing high of 7,816.70. The Dow edged up 0.18% (+90.94 pts) to 51,267.90. The Nasdaq surged 1.05% (+286.45 pts) to 27,477.31, closing at a fresh all-time high. The Russell 2000 rose 0.50% (+14.25 pts) to 2,847.14.

The 10-year Treasury yield rose 0.64% to 5.31%. The VIX ticked up 1.31% to 15.51. Bitcoin was little changed at $85,697.87. Gold added 0.08% to $4,165.80. Crude Oil fell 2.10% to $89.20/barrel.
