Weekly Market Recap – Week Ending Sep 25, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. equity markets were mixed this week, with technology and growth-related areas leading while several defensive and rate-sensitive sectors moved lower. The NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM<\/strong>) rose 3.24%, and the S&P 500 ETF (SPYM<\/strong>) gained 1.29%, supported by strong performance in Technology (XLK<\/strong>), Communication Services (XLC<\/strong>), Health Care (XLV<\/strong>), and Industrials (XLI<\/strong>). However, Utilities (XLU<\/strong>), Energy (XLE<\/strong>), Real Estate (XLRE<\/strong>), Financials (XLF<\/strong>), Consumer Staples (XLP<\/strong>), Consumer Discretionary (XLY<\/strong>), Materials (XLB<\/strong>), Small Caps (VB<\/strong>), and Dividend Equity (SCHD<\/strong>) declined, indicating that market breadth remained uneven. Stock-specific momentum was strongest in selected technology, semiconductor, AI infrastructure, biotechnology, and clean energy names, led by Moderna (MRNA<\/strong>), Bloom Energy (BE), Intel (INTC<\/strong>), Arm Holdings (ARM<\/strong>), Lenovo Group (LNVGY<\/strong>), and SoftBank (SFTBY<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
