S&P 500 closes at 7,757.64, its 26th record close of 2026

The S&P 500 rose 0.6% Friday to close at 7,757.64, its 26th all-time closing record of 2026; the Dow Jones Industrial Average also topped 54,000 over the same period. The recent rally has been driven by better-than-expected corporate earnings, a rebound in tech shares, and market hopes for an easing of tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.

Gold tops $4,400/oz, a two-month high but still below January's record

Gold climbed above $4,400 an ounce on August 11, its highest level in nearly two months, driven by a weaker-than-expected July jobs report that boosted expectations for US rate cuts. The current level remains below the all-time high of $5,542.40 an ounce set on January 29, 2026.
