Wall Street Watch: S&P 500 Smashes Through 5,000 Barrier in Early Tuesday Trading

The S&P 500 index powered past the significant 5,000 milestone during Tuesday morning’s trading session, indicating a burst of positive momentum in the U.S. stock market. As of 10:18 AM UTC-4 on April 9th, the widely-watched benchmark index was trading at 5,004.09.

This level represents a solid gain of +21.32 points, or +0.43%, for the day so far. The intraday chart reveals the index surged shortly after the market opened, climbing decisively above the previous closing value of 4,982.77. After hitting a morning peak above 5,040, the index saw some pullback but maintained its position above the key 5,000 level.

Crossing the 5,000 mark is often seen as a significant psychological level for investors and market analysts. The index’s ability to reclaim and hold above this threshold early in the trading day is being closely monitored. The data reflects the performance within the “1D” timeframe, capturing the market’s movements since the opening bell on Tuesday. Market participants continue to watch the S&P 500’s trajectory as the trading day progresses.
