Hey listeners, it's Saturday, October 4th.
I'm Francesca Fontana for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News in Market,
our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.
Let's get to it!
Let's start with the government shutdown in the US, shall we?
How the stock market has been reacting both before and after the shutdown that started Wednesday.
While stocks were weighed down early in the week,
we saw investors mostly shrugging off the shutdown,
which remember delayed Fridays, September jobs report,
and could lead to a blackout of key economic data.
And that strength is thanks to a few things.
For one, a rally in pharmaceutical stocks helped lift major indexes on Tuesday,
more on that in a second, and there's continued enthusiasm over AI.
Now let's talk closing records.
This week's performance by the three major indexes brought the grand total of closing records for 2025 to 72.
On Friday, the Dow notched its 11th record close of the year, while the S&P notched its 31st.
And on a weekly basis, all three indexes ended with gains of more than 1%.
