Price change is not total return
SPY and QQQ are exchange-traded funds used as broad market proxies, not index levels. A closing-price change does not include reinvested dividends, trading costs or your currency conversion.

A comparison is not a cause
A stock can move differently from an ETF in the same session. That difference is an observation, not proof that a headline caused the move. Check company filings and the relevant dates before forming an explanation.
Turn the observation into a test
Use the market charts to inspect a longer period, then write down the assumption you want to test. A single strong or weak session does not establish a trend or a suitable trade.
