Nasdaq gains as traders digest surprise July jobs data

The session saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average edge higher, while oil prices spiked and some AI-related stocks fell.

Yahoo Finance reports that the Nasdaq led higher after a surprise July jobs reading, lifting broader risk sentiment into the close.

The outlet also said technology shares helped drive the move, even as the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged higher.

Stocks were pressured by spiking oil prices, which weighed on some market areas, and by tumbling AI plays in portions of the sector.

In company-specific coverage cited in the live market stream, CoreWeave and Nebius were highlighted around data-center related earnings, while Nvidia was noted as remaining above a key buy trigger.
