- Dow closed above 50,000 for the first time, marking a new milestone.
- S&P 500 futures fell as Treasury yields rose, even though the index stayed at record highs.
- Nasdaq futures slipped alongside S&P 500 futures, despite Nasdaq’s 12‑day winning streak — its longest since July.
- Trump ended his summit with Xi, a diplomatic closure that coincided with the market pullback.
- Cisco led a technology rally, helping the S&P 500 and Nasdaq close at record highs.
Why it matters: Equity‑future traders lose value as futures slip, while the Dow’s 50k milestone lifts market breadth, and the pullback after the summit end adds pressure on short‑term traders.
