Wall Street rises as SpaceX earnings boost technology stocks
U.S. stock markets closed higher on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, led by a rally in the technology sector. The Nasdaq Composite rose 1.05%, the S&P 500 gained 0.6%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added approximately 360 points.
Market sentiment was significantly bolstered by SpaceX's third-quarter earnings report, which showed a 161% year-over-year revenue jump to $14.6 billion and a transition to profitability. This performance, alongside positive outlooks from Super Micro Computer, helped ease investor concerns regarding the long-term sustainability of massive capital expenditures in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
In the commodities market, Brent crude returned to approximately $110 per barrel following reports of attacks on Saudi Arabian energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs continued a strong trend, recording approximately $525 million in net inflows for the day, marking a third consecutive day of positive movement.
