Stock Market Today: S&P 500 and Nasdaq turn positive as Nasdaq stages V-shaped rebound
The stock market today saw a sharp intra-session reversal: the Nasdaq Composite staged a V-shaped recovery on Monday, surging 0. 36% to hit 22, 749. 00 after an early-session collapse of 1. 6%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq turned positive in midday trading and the Dow pared early losses as oil prices pulled back from session highs.
Stock Market Today: S&P 500 and Nasdaq turn positive in midday trading
S&P 500 and Nasdaq gains flipped the tape midday, reversing dramatic early weakness. The Dow pared early losses rather than extending a steeper slide, and oil prices were reported to be off their session highs as equity buyers stepped in during the session.
Nasdaq’s V-shaped recovery and the numbers
Market participants watched the Nasdaq Composite erase an early 1. 6% decline and finish the rebound with a 0. 36% gain at 22, 749. 00 on Monday, a move characterized in coverage as a “V-shaped” recovery. The reversal followed volatile trading that had left major indexes deeply red earlier in the day.
Middle East strikes, airspace questions and market ripple effects
Concerns about attacks in the Gulf region have factored into market swings. Viral video claims asked whether an Iranian attack hit Fairmont The Palm, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai in the UAE, and coverage also posed whether Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall were attacked by Iranian drones and which places have been hit in airstrikes on the UAE so far. Those reports fed broader questions about when global airlines flights will resume and when Middle East airspace will open, and prompted coverage of which air routes are opening for flying from Dubai and Abu Dhabi with updates from Emirates, flydubai and Etihad Airways. The Middle East conflict story has been tied to a pattern of airline stocks falling while oil and defense shares surge.
Winners, losers and market movers: Treasuries, precious metals, tech and oddities
Market narratives have been broad. Coverage asked why the Dow crashed 800 points on the last February trading day, pointing to an inflation shock, Iran war fear and AI disruption as slamming the U. S. stock market. Nvidia stock was singled out in headlines as crashing during earlier turmoil, while precious metals swung sharply: one item noted silver was crashing 7% on the day even as gold surged $100, and another asked whether gold might touch $6, 000 and silver $200 in longer-range debate. US Treasuries slid amid oil price moves tied to the Middle East conflict, a dynamic framed as possibly reducing hopes for Fed rate cuts. Smaller market moves included Ondas stock jumping nearly 18% after a $10 million investment and a new defense tech partnership.
Tech outages, corporate events and a quote for traders
Beyond market indexes, coverage referenced an Apple event where the iPhone 17e was launched, with discussion centered on what was added, changed and improved and what sets it apart. Separately, AWS experienced an outage that raised questions about when it would be back up, with coverage pointing to affected regions, services, error messages, recovery efforts and desktop and mobile user issues. A lighter note in the day’s digest: the quote of the day from Jon Bon Jovi — “Map out your future—but do it in pencil. ”
Coverage also flagged choices facing investors in a U. S. –Iran war scenario: how the S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq could react and whether defense stocks would be the real winners or gold and silver the ultimate safe havens. Questions about resuming global airline service and reopening Middle East airspace remain unresolved; that timing is unclear in the provided context.
