Wall Street closes mixed on Friday: Dow up 0.46 percent, Nasdaq down 0.64 percent

The main US stock indexes closed mixed on Friday 24 July 2026 (2 Mordad 1405). The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 235.60 points, or 0.46 percent, to 51,947.25, the S&P 500 added 0.05 percent to 7,411.98, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.64 percent to close at 24,975.82.

The main drag on the market came from chip stocks. Intel shares declined even though the company's second quarter revenue reached 16.1 billion dollars, above analyst expectations, after it raised its 2026 capital spending outlook to more than 20 billion dollars. Investors were at the same time tracking developments in the Iran US war and its possible effect on energy flows.

Over the week ending 2 Mordad the S&P 500 lost about 0.5 percent, marking its fifth consecutive weekly decline, the index's longest weekly losing run in close to four years.
