The <strong>S&amp;P 500<\/strong> rose <strong>0.6%<\/strong> to hit an intraday record of <strong>7,818.57<\/strong>, surpassing its previous peak from mid-August.

The <strong>seasonally adjusted Ivey PMI<\/strong> for September came in at <strong>58.2<\/strong>, down from <strong>64.3<\/strong> in August. While the figure remains in expansionary territory (above 50), it indicates a slower pace of purchasing activity compared to the previous month&#39;s multi-year high.<\/p>\n<h2>Defense and Geopolitical Tensions<\/h2>\n<p>Defense contractor BAE Systems (<a href=\"\/stock\/BA\">BA<\/a>) secured a new contract from Lockheed Martin (<a href=\"\/stock\/LMT\">LMT<\/a>) to provide advanced <strong>Electronic Warfare (EW)<\/strong> systems for the F-35 Lightning II.

Simultaneously, <strong>Israel&#39;s National Security Council<\/strong> warned of a &quot;heightened risk&quot; of terror attacks against Israelis and Jews abroad. The warning comes as the region approaches the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023, massacre, with officials urging citizens to avoid travel to high-risk destinations like Jordan, Egypt, and
