S&P 500 e-minis rise 0.28%, Nasdaq 100 e-minis gain 0.53%, Dow e-minis dip 0.09%

S&P 500 e-minis rose by 0.28% on July 2, 2025, as the index continued its upward trajectory. The Nasdaq 100 e-minis gained 0.53%, driven by strong performance in technology stocks, including Nvidia (NVDA), which reached a market cap of over $4 trillion [2]. Meanwhile, Dow e-minis dipped by 0.09%, reflecting a mixed day for the broader market.

The day's trading was influenced by several key factors. A dip in US Treasury yields provided a boost to equity markets, with the 10-year T-note futures trading slightly positive [2]. Copper prices fell by 3% after the Trump administration's announcement of a 50% tariff on imports [2]. Natural gas prices also declined, influenced by a surprising forecast from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) projecting higher inventories by the end of October [2].

The Nasdaq 100's performance was particularly notable, with technology stocks leading the market higher. Nvidia's market cap exceeding $4 trillion marked a significant milestone in the tech sector [2]. Meanwhile, the Dow's dip can be attributed to a mix of sectoral performance and overall market sentiment.

Investors are advised to stay informed about upcoming economic data and policy announcements, such as the June Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes, which could impact market dynamics. The current trading environment remains volatile, and investors should consider their risk tolerance and diversify their portfolios accordingly.
