Here are 3 major moments that drove the stock market last week
Summary
Markets staged a strong snapback on Friday with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 rising sharply, but both finished the week down while the Dow posted a notable weekly gain. Big drivers included hyperscaler capex plans from Alphabet and Amazon, which had mixed investor reactions despite both firms increasing AI-focused spending. Software and SaaS stocks fell amid renewed fears that AI automation could erode enterprise software market share, accelerated by Anthropic's new legal automation tool. The rotation into value stocks led portfolio managers to trim winners like Home Depot, Honeywell and DuPont while using weakness in names such as CrowdStrike as a buying opportunity.
