Similarly, <strong>Dow Futures (<a href=\"\/stock\/YM=F\">YM=F<\/a>)<\/strong> was down <strong>102.00 (-0.21%)<\/strong> points, signaling a slight retreat from recent record highs. The main narrative driving the market was a <strong>sector rotation<\/strong> triggered by <strong>mixed manufacturing data<\/strong>, leading investors to favor <strong>software-as-a-service<\/strong> firms over traditional manufacturing and consumer staples.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the blue-chip index, <strong>Salesforce (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>)<\/strong> saw a notable jump, as the stock was up <strong>2.68%<\/strong> to <strong>$187.10<\/strong>.
