Where the week stood at the close
6:12 PM ETBy Friday, the Dow and S&P 500 rallied after earlier declines, while the Nasdaq finished just below its all‑time high, with the softer‑than‑expected September jobs report acting as the primary catalyst. Core PCE inflation for August was reported at 3.0%, lighter than expected, and September non‑farm payrolls rose by 29,000, both released on Wednesday and Friday respectively. Accenture posted an earnings beat and revenue growth, Micron beat earnings expectations with strong guidance, and Nike reported first‑quarter revenue down 4% while announcing layoffs. Rivian met Q3 delivery expectations and reaffirmed its 2026 guidance, and AI‑related headlines such as AMD’s acquisition of World Labs and Nvidia’s sizable share‑buyback kept AI dealmaking in the headlines. The next trading session is Monday, October 5.
