Dow record, tech drags S&P 500, small caps: Market Takeaways
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) closed at a record high on Monday, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) and S&P 500 (^GSPC) indexes closed in negative territory. Despite Big Tech's recovery from wide sell-offs at the beginning of August, there still seems to be some anxieties ahead of Nvidia's (NVDA) second quarter earnings results due out Wednesday, August 28.
Small cap stocks (^RUT) are of note as current earnings estimates are lagging behind the S&P 500, according to data from an Empirical Research Partners analysis, leaving them under valued as more earnings could drive them up.
