Focus: USMarket Close: Tue, 27 January 2026
|
At market close, US equities presented a mixed picture amid ongoing sector rotation and selective risk appetite. Technology and utilities sectors demonstrated resilience, buoyed by steady momentum in mega-cap names, while health care faced significant pressure from adverse developments in key constituents.
Key drivers from the session included:
- Tech strength powered gains in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, with names like Amazon (+2.63%), Microsoft (+2.23%), and Cisco Systems contributing positively ahead of their upcoming reports.
- A major drag came from UnitedHealth Group (UNH), which plunged nearly 20% after issuing softer fiscal 2026 revenue guidance and amid reports of proposed Medicare Advantage reimbursement changes This rippled to other insurers like Humana and CVS Health.
- Other notable movers: Boeing slipped on results, while General Motors surged 8.8% after lifting its 2026 guidance and beating expectations.
Markets are in a pivotal week, with the Federal Reserve policy decision due today (January 28), widely expected to hold rates steady, but traders watching for clues on future cuts.
Big tech earnings kick off heavily today/this week: Microsoft, Meta, Tesla, IBM, and others report, which could drive volatility, especially around AI spending, guidance, and growth sustainability.
Overall, it was a tech-led advance for the broader indexes, offset by healthcare/insurance pain in the Dow, setting the stage for today's Fed announcement and mega-cap results to potentially dictate near-term direction.

Market Movements
Health care stocks led decliners sharply, with major insurers like Humana and UnitedHealth posting double-digit losses, dragging the sector ETF lower by over 1.6%, while utilities and technology sectors outperformed amid broader index gains near 0.4%. The Magnificent 7 showed mixed results, with Amazon and Microsoft advancing over 2% but Tesla lagging, highlighting divergence within mega-caps as the Dow slipped nearly 1%. What this means: The pronounced weakness in health care signals potential oversold conditions and rotation toward defensives like utilities, reinforcing a risk-off tilt in select areas; with pending short signals in names like UnitedHealth and the Dow, mean-reversion plays could emerge if the pressure eases.
