And it is the closing bell on Wall Street and now it's market domination overtime. We're giving you full coverage of all the moves to get you up to speed on the action from today's trade. Yahoo Finance is Jared Bliry, joining us here to break it all down. Jared, let's get to with you on that close.
00:15 Speaker B
Hey Josh, I'm looking at a photo finish for the S&P 500. Assuming this holds and this is uh correct sometimes these things fluctuate. That would be another record high for the benchmark index of the world. Uh but the Dow really claiming the top spot in the majors today up half a percent or 238 points. That is another record for the Dow. Nasdaq slid a little bit today. You can see it's spent about half of the afternoon or half of the day in the red there, uh but off of those lows.
00:40 Speaker B
And then the Russell 2000, that is a record close for the small cap index as well. And speaking of records, you will you can add utilities to that. Utilities had a fine week, uh up 2 and a half%. only eclipsed by healthcare, which is number two today, but by far the biggest winner this week, up almost 7%. The best week in a few years there. Also doing well today, financials, energy, uh but to the downside, you're going to see the three mega cap sectors are the only ones in the red, the only ones underperforming the S&P 500 there. So let's take a peek at the Nasdaq 100.
01:10 Speaker B
And there you can see Meta Media leading the big guys down by about two and a quarter percentage points. Uh Tesla also down about 1 and a half%. Palantier down seven, KLAC down about three and Meli, Mercado Libre down about 3% as well. But we did have, as I was pointing out earlier, this is actually, well, we'll call this a split board. It was more green than red in the last hour. But the Dow definitely looking at some solid gains today. A lot more green on this board.
01:34 Speaker B
Visa, J&J, Goldman Sachs, Caterpillar, United Health, Travelers, all up more than 1%. Nike, the leader to the downside, down about 3 and a half%, although over this week, down uh up about 3.8%. And then taking a look at some of the leaders here, oil and Bitcoin and regional banks. Regional banks had a tough week last week, but not this week. Biotech, part of that healthcare trade screaming higher this week and small caps, those did well.
02:02 Speaker B
And we can also take a look at the crypto board. I'll just give you a sneak peek of that. We're going to cover that more in depth in about 30 minutes, Josh. But here's Bitcoin up 1 and 1/2% to 122,736.
02:14 Speaker A
All right, thank you, Jared.
