The S&P 500 added 39.28 points (+0.51%) to close at 7,743.41, while the Nasdaq climbed 129.34 points (+0.48%) to 27,068.72. Small-caps lagged slightly, with the Russell 2000 inching up 1.98 points (+0.07%) to 2,837.55.

While single-stock valuations remain under scrutiny, the modest upward momentum in major indices highlights resilience in domestic risk appetite.
### Money Play Market participants tracking broader index exposure should observe relative strength across cyclical and technology sectors as capital rotates within key equity benchmarks.
