The start of the new year brought mixed results for the stock market.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 317 points, or 0.7%. The S&P 500 closed up 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite closed down slightly.
The Dow and S&P both snapped their four-day losing streaks, but the Nasdaq couldn’t seal the deal. It finished just below breakeven to bring its own skid to five days. The tech-heavy index last fell five days in a row in early 2025.
