Indices and Crypto See Red
On the other side of the ledger, several major indices and cryptocurrencies experienced declines. The SP500 (אס אנד פי 500) dipped 0.48% to 6837.34, and the NASDAQ (נאסדק 100) was down 0.31%, closing at 23505.668.

Meanwhile, the local TA125 (תל אביב 125) index managed a modest gain of 0.15%, ending the day at 3572.88, bucking the trend seen in some international indices.
Overall, today's trading session was a tale of two markets: extraordinary gains for a select few stocks, contrasting with a more subdued performance from broader indices and the digital currency space.
