benchmarks advanced together as $SPY, $IVV, and $VTI each gained about 0.7%, while $QQQ outpaced at 0.9%.

Only 33.7% of the equity universe rose on the day, and just 27.6% were higher over three days, reinforcing that losses remained broadly distributed even as $SPY, $QQQ, and $IVV were little changed.

core equity ETFs such as $SPY, $IVV and $VTI fell around 0.4% to 0.5%, while global and international exposures were weaker, with $ACWI down 0.8%, $VXUS down 1.3% and emerging markets under sharper pressure.
