Welcome to the Stock Dork Cheat Sheet; your go-to guide for all the most important stock market news and analysis.

 

Today is Thursday, July 1st. Let's get ready for the trading week!

 

The S&P 500 gained 0.1% on Wednesday's trading session to set its 34th record-high this year, and the Dow added 0.6%. The Nasdaq was an exception with a 0.2% loss as tech stocks lagged.

 

Today, futures are up slightly ahead of the opening bell. Today's ISM Manufacturing report will provide some insights into whether the US industrial sector is recovering as expected, so keep an eye out for that.

 

Tomorrow will be the last trading session before the three-day Independence Day weekend. Markets are closed on Monday, so we'll be back on Tuesday. Happy July 4th and enjoy your holiday!
