Why are US stock market indexes, Dow Jones and S&P 500, down while Nasdaq is up today, and will S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures for tomorrow continue to rise or drop again? Wall Street closed mixed as investors tracked oil prices, the Federal Reserve decision, and major technology earnings. Energy stocks rose while utilities and materials fell. Futures moved higher after the closing bell following Alphabet’s jump. Investors now watch inflation, corporate outlook, and global tensions for direction.
