Top Stock Movers – May 7, 2026

Thursday, May 7, 2026 / No Comments

U.S. stocks closed lower Thursday after early gains pushed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to fresh intraday record highs before investors pulled back amid renewed strength in oil prices and a wave of sharp post-earnings stock moves.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6%, while the S&P 500 lost 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite edged down 0.1%. The retreat followed Wednesday’s powerful rally, when the Dow surged more than 600 points.

Oil markets reversed earlier declines as traders weighed the possibility of a U.S.-Iran agreement against lingering supply concerns. West Texas Intermediate crude settled near $95.90 per barrel, while Brent crude climbed back above $100.
