Sep 10, 2026 · QQQ/SPY Market Review · 83 headlines
QQQ fell 1.31% and SPY lost 0.64%, leaving SPY ahead by 0.67 percentage points. Most weakness developed before the open, while the regular session was nearly steady and QQQ slipped another 0.26 percentage points after hours. Hot producer prices, a smaller-than-maximum Treasury buyback, oil above $100 and Oracle's cloud-contract update were the main contexts, with overnight Hormuz traffic data extending the energy-risk story.

Oracle reported more than $30 billion in new first-quarter cloud contracts for fiscal 2027, lifting remaining performance obligations to $664 billion and reinforcing the AI-capacity investment theme.
