The main narrative driving the market was a surprisingly strong <strong>ISM Manufacturing PMI<\/strong> report, which suggested that industrial production is accelerating faster than anticipated. This <strong>economic data<\/strong> bolstered confidence in cyclical stocks, even as the market remains sensitive to future <strong>Federal Reserve<\/strong> policy shifts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3M (<a href=\"\/stock\/MMM\">MMM<\/a>)<\/strong> was the standout performer, up <strong>3.70%<\/strong> to <strong>$148.62<\/strong>, as the industrial sector reacted to the positive macro outlook.

These gains provided the necessary momentum to keep the index in positive territory throughout the session.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, some sectors faced headwinds. <strong>IBM (<a href=\"\/stock\/IBM\">IBM<\/a>)<\/strong> was down <strong>2.42%<\/strong> to <strong>$213.40<\/strong> following reports of slowing enterprise consulting revenue. <strong>Home Depot (<a href=\"\/stock\/HD\">HD<\/a>)<\/strong> was down <strong>2.14%<\/strong> at <strong>$303.85<\/strong>, and <strong>Salesforce (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>)<\/strong> was down <strong>1.64%<\/strong> to <strong>$168.45<\/strong>.
