The S&P 500 keeps climbing on days when stocks broadly struggle. Here’s what’s going on.

The S&P 500 index continues to rise despite broader stock market struggles, driven by investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI).

These firms appear to be capable of significantly impacting daily performance in the index, suggesting a concentration of market power among a few dominant players. The article notes that this dynamic reflects a shift in investor priorities toward technological innovation.
