June 3 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 inched up on Monday as falling U.S. Treasury yields boosted megacap growth stocks, while investors assessed data that showed local manufacturing activity had eased for the second consecutive month in May.
Megacap stocks including Apple AAPL.O, Meta META.O and Alphabet GOOGL.O gained between1.1% and1.7%, as yields on the benchmark U.S. 10-year andfive-year notes fell around 10 basis points each.MKTS/GLOB
AIleader Nvidia NVDA.O rose3.4%, leading a0.8% charge in the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index .SOX.Chief executive Jensen Huang said on Sunday the company's next-generation AI chip platform would be rolled out in 2026.
Shares ofGameStop GME.N soared 26.8% after a weekend Reddit post from stocks influencer Keith Gill, also known as "Roaring Kitty," showed a $116 million bet on the gaming retailer.
Elsewhere, NYSE Equities said it was investigating a reported technical issue that sent dozens of stocks listed on the exchange into volatility pauses.
Six of the 11 S&P 500 sectors gained, led by a0.9% rise in tech .SPLRCT, while energy .SPNY lost1.7%.
Signaling a cooling economy, a survey from the Institute for Supply Management showed manufacturing activity eased to 48.7 in May, lower than the expectation of 49.6.
Yields began retreating from one-month highs on Friday as investorsincreased bets on a September start to interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve after inflation showed signs of cooling, as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index.
However, despite the S&P 500 .SPX and the Nasdaq .IXIC snapping their five-week winning streaks on Friday, all three of Wall Street's main indexes ended May with strong gains.
The S&P 500 rose 4.8%, the Dow climbed 2.3% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose nearly 7% last month, as strong earnings and hopes of easing monetary policy buoyed Wall Street's biggest stocks.
"AI drivers, earnings and inflation will continue to drive the market," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research.
Attention turns to crucialdata this week, including surveys on the manufacturing and services sector, factory orders and Friday's closely watched nonfarm payrolls report, which willprovide investors with clueson the health of the U.S. economy and the Fed's likely course of action.
"We're going to be looking at employment data this Friday and we're getting a whole slew of economic reports, so inflation will still be very much foremost in investors' minds," Stovall said.
At10:14 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJIwas down 46.63 points, or 0.12%, at 38,639.69, the S&P 500 .SPXwas up 11.74 points, or 0.22%, at 5,289.25, and the Nasdaq Composite .IXICwas up 103.70 points, or 0.62%, at 16,838.71.

JetBlue Airways JBLU.O forecast a smaller drop in second-quarter revenue than previously forecast due to healthy travel demand, sending its shares up 4.7 %.
