Oct 25 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq rallied to a fresh intraday record on Friday, lifted by megacaps as Treasury yields slipped from the week's high while investors looked ahead to quarterly results from some of Wall Street's biggest companies next week.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose slightly on the day to 4.218%, but eased off the 4.26% high touched earlierin the week.
The so-called"Magnificent Seven" group of rate-sensitive stocks leapt. Chip heavyweight Nvidia NVDA.O gained 2.1%, briefly overtaking Apple AAPL.O as the world's mostvaluable company by stock market value.
Tesla's TSLA.O shares rose 2.6%, adding to a 22% surge in the previous session, Apple AAPL.O gained 0.9% and Microsoft MSFT.O was up 1.3%.
However, a 1.7% loss in Goldman Sachs GS.N and a 2.4% fall in McDonald's MCD.N as the fast-food chain copes with an E. coli outbreak linked to itshamburgers, dragged the Dow.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 81.79 points, or 0.19%, to 42,292.57, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 29.68 points, or 0.51%, to 5,839.54 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC rose224.76 points, or 1.22%, to 18,640.24.
The Nasdaq's gains took it into positive territory for the week, though the benchmark S&P 500 and the blue-chip Dow looked set to snap six-week winning streaks. The Nasdaq was on track to rise 1.2%, the S&P 500 to fall 0.4%, and the Dow set to lose 2.3%.
Equities have been unsettled this week by a rapid rise in yields as Fed rate-cut bets unraveled on expectations of a stronger economic outlook.
"The Fed perhaps got a little too dovish ahead of the data ... the growth and inflation numbers don't necessarily justify easing behavior," said Arnim Holzer, global macro strategist at EAB Investment Group.
Investors are still pricing in another 25-basis-point rate cut at the U.S. Federal Reserve's November meeting and about two rate cuts by the end of the year, according to LSEG data.
The week starting Oct. 28, the final stretch before the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, promises to be crucial for Wall Street. This is when results from megacap technology firms including AlphabetGOOGL.O, Apple AAPL.O and Microsoft MSFT.O are also due, along with the nonfarmpayrolls report for October.
"With such high valuations ... at this point, these high growth tech companies need to confirm both AI (artificial intelligence) growth and execution - they need to show and deliver," Holzer said.
Meanwhile, CapriHoldings CPRI.N slumped 47.3% after a U.S. judge blocked a pending merger between the company and handbag maker Tapestry TPR.N. Shares of Tapestry rose 14.3%.
Regional lender New York Community Bancorp NYCB.N dropped 6.9% after reporting its fourth straight quarter of loss , primarily due to its commercial real estate loans.
Continued uncertainty around the U.S. election has alsomade investors cautious, thoughmarkets have started pricing in a second Donald Trump administration in recent weeks.
The information technology sector .SPLRCT led gains, while financials .SPSY were the biggest decliner.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.24-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.5-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P 500 posted 30 new 52-week highs and one new low, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 70 new highs and 61 new lows.
