Why the Nasdaq lagged while the Dow held
The split was visible within minutes of the bell. The Dow edged ahead while the tech-heavy Nasdaq drifted lower, leaving the S&P 500 almost exactly where it ended Thursday at 7,592.4.
Chipmakers pulled in opposite directions. Nvidia traded at $166.19, down 4.34%, while AMD climbed to $585.30 and Broadcom to $364.36. Arista Networks was the top gainer on the NYSE, up 5.06% at $206.63.
Among the biggest decliners, Keurig Dr Pepper dropped 7.4% and Strategy, the Bitcoin-holding company formerly known as MicroStrategy, lost 6.49%. GE Aerospace fell 3.47%, General Motors 2.98% and Ford 2.86%.
Energy shares did better. ExxonMobil gained 1.84% and ConocoPhillips 1.6% as crude rose.
What the bond market and the VIX are saying
The 10-year Treasury yield is the interest rate the US government pays to borrow for a decade. Yields rise when bond prices fall, and at 5.156% it is up 1.04% on the day. Higher borrowing costs tend to weigh on shares of fast-growing companies.
The VIX, Wall Street's fear gauge, which rises when traders pay more for protection against swings, eased to 18.1 from 18.7. That suggests the opening mood was uneasy but not panicked. The dollar index edged up 0.08% to 103.254.
For context, the S&P 500 is still up 10.87% this year but down 1.68% over the past month. The Nasdaq has lost 5.19% over the same month and sits well below its yearly high of 27,599.8. The S&P 500's yearly high is 7,818.9.
Oil, gold and crypto
- Oil: Brent rose 1.09% to $96.86 and WTI gained 0.71% to $89.37.
- Gold: Spot gold added 0.32% to $3,896.13 an ounce, while silver slipped 1.04% to $49.55.
- Copper and gas: Copper fell 0.79% and natural gas dropped 3.53%.
- Bitcoin: Bitcoin fell 3.27% to $69,039, and Ethereum lost 2.73% to $1,962.24.
