QQQ and SPY keep small gains after a post-close pullback amid Meta capex and Hormuz vessel reports

QQQ finished up 0.25% and SPY rose 0.05%, leaving QQQ ahead by 0.20 percentage points after both gave back much of their regular-session gains. OpenAI’s Google Cloud expansion added AI platform context, while Meta and Tesla beat quarterly estimates and Meta projected $135 billion to $145 billion in 2026 capital spending. A U.S. heating-oil reserve proposal and Iran’s report of three vessels hitting mines west of Hormuz added fuel-supply and shipping context. No new QQQ/SPY price observations were available after 20:00 ET, and the overnight curve carries those levels forward.
