Tale of the Tape
Good evening, everyone. It was a quiet Summer Friday in the US stock market.
We saw some selling off the open, but things stabilized as the big dawg traders jet off sippin’ Mai Tais. 🧉
This week marked a notable reversal in big cap tech, which have been leaders until recently. The Nasdaq 100 closed at an all-time high Monday but fell 4.3% since.
Small-caps also sucked today but this is nothing new, dropping 1.5% and giving up all the gains from the week.
Intel got crushed on last night’s earnings. The Tesla reversal could be a thing down another 6% and 260 points off the 1677 high it hit briefly yesterday in the AM.
We’ll keep it kinda brief tonight, enjoy the weekend y’all.
Here are the closing prices:
| S&P 500 | 3,215 | -0.62% |
| Nasdaq | 10,363 | -0.94% |
| Russell 2000 | 1,467 | -1.52% |
| Dow Jones | 26,469 | -0.68% |
