December 31, 2024 - 00:07
Today, all major market indexes experienced a decline, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average leading the way. The index saw a staggering drop of 600 points at its lowest point this morning, although it managed to recover some of those losses as the day progressed. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also faced downward pressure early on but showed signs of recovery, trading less than 1% down by midday.
Notably, shares of prominent chipmakers Broadcom and Micron Technology were impacted, each falling by 2.7%. This downturn reflects a broader trend in the tech sector, which has been facing various challenges in recent months. Investors are keeping a close eye on economic indicators and corporate earnings reports, which could further influence market sentiment. As the trading day continues, market participants remain cautious, navigating through the volatility that has characterized recent sessions.
