S&P 500SPX500

S&P 500 closes flat at 7,483.24 amid mixed market reactions to soft jobs data.

On July 2, 2026, the S&P 500 remained virtually unchanged, closing at 7,483.24. This stability occurred despite over two-thirds of its constituent stocks rising, as declines in semiconductor and AI-related stocks offset gains. A weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report, showing only 57,000 new hires, eased concerns about potential interest rate hikes, contributing to the mixed market sentiment.
