Nasdaq 100 reportedly sets a record as chipmakers rally and oil falls

The Nasdaq 100 reached its first record since June, according to a September 22 post, which flagged the Trump-Xi summit planned for that week as the next test. Separate market commentary that day listed Brent at $100.34, down 3.4%, and WTI at $95.78, down 4.5%. That post argued that falling oil and Treasury yields support technology stocks, while a rise in both could bring pressure back.
