S&P 500 Near Record as Nasdaq Lows Outnumber Highs Three to One

On October 6, 2026, the Nasdaq Composite logged 61 new 52-week highs and 182 new lows, per Reuters. The S&P 500 logged 23 highs and 2 lows, near a record close. Capitalization weighting, which favors big companies, lets a few giants lift the index as the typical stock lags. One session is not a trend, but the gap is wide.
