Decline in US Stocks Continues, Tech Giants Witness Major Losses

Sellers continued in the US stocks at the start of the day, especially in the Nasdaq and S&P indices.

Each of them continued what was started yesterday when both had their worst trading day since the end of 2022. For the S&P it fell -36.17 points before bottoming.  For the Nasdaq it tumbled -308.45 points a day after falling -655 points. That's like close to -1000 points.

Then things turned around with the S&P moving to +64 points at the high for the day. The Nasdaq moved to up 202.05 points at session highs (a 500+ point turnaround).. 

However, the gains were not meant to be and both are closing the day down on the day.  The Dow and the small-cap Russell 2000 indices bounced higher as the flow of funds come out of tech and into the underperforming sector..

The final numbers for the indices are showing:

  • Dow Industrial Average average plus 81.20 points or 0.20 percent at 39935.08
  • S&P index fell -27.89 points or -0.81% at 5399.23
  • NASDAQ index tumbled -160.69 points or -0.93% at 17181.72

The small-cap Russell 2000 rose 27.60 points or 1.26% at 2222.98.

Looking at the Magnificent 7:

  • Meta Platforms -1.70%
  • Amazon, -0.54%.
  • Nvidia -1.72%
  • Alphabet -3.10%
  • Apple -0.48%
  • Microsoft -2.45%
  • Tesla bucked the trend and rose 1.97%

Some other big losers today included car companies (Ford GM and Stallantis) and some medical companies including Boston Scientific, Stryker, and Intuitive Surgical:

  • Ford Motor (F): -18.36%
  • Stellantis NV (STLA): -7.70%
  • Western Digital (WDC): -7.67%
  • General Motors (GM): -5.08%
  • Boston Scientific (BSX): -4.50%
  • AMD (AMD): -4.39%
  • Stryker (SYK): -3.81%
  • Intuitive Surgical (ISRG): -3.81%
  • Qualcomm (QCOM): -3.16%
