On July 2, 2026, the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a new all-time high, completing its fourth consecutive week of gains, marking its longest positive streak since October 2024. The rise was driven by weaker-than-expected employment data for June in the United States, which some analysts believe alleviated fears regarding interest rate hikes.

In contrast to the performance of the Dow, technology stocks faced significant challenges, with notable declines in the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indexes. Pressure on semiconductor stocks contributed to the downturn in tech shares.
