Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Down 1.26% and S&P 500 Off 0.75% at Midday as Chip Stocks Split
The Nasdaq is down 1.26% and the S&P 500 down 0.75% at Friday's midday, as AMD and Broadcom jump while Marvell and onsemi slide.
Wall Street has slid since Friday's opening bell. The Nasdaq is down 1.26% and the S&P 500 is down 0.75% at midday in New York, while the Dow is off just 0.14%. At the open the S&P 500 was down only 0.04% and the Nasdaq 0.23%, so losses have widened through the morning.
The short version
- Stocks: The Nasdaq leads the declines at 1.26%, the S&P 500 is down 0.75% and the Dow is down 0.14%. Small caps are lagging too, with the Russell 2000 down 0.67%.
- Chips: The sector is split. AMD is up 5.86% and Broadcom up 5.54%, but Marvell is down 8.76% and onsemi down 5.79%.
- Rates and fear gauge: The 10-year Treasury yield is at 5.13% and the VIX is at 19.91, up 6.47%.
- Crypto: Bitcoin is down 3.83% at about $68,641.
- Next: Nvidia reports on Tuesday after the bell, with Home Depot and Disney before it opens.
Why the Nasdaq is falling faster than the Dow
The Dow's makeup tilts away from the technology names that dominate the Nasdaq, and that shows in the gap. The Nasdaq stands at 25,045.3 and is now down 6.17% over the past month. The S&P 500 is at 7,535.2, still up 10.08% for the year but 2.38% lower than a month ago. Its yearly high is 7,818.9.
The split inside chips matters here. The Nasdaq has strong winners and sharp losers in the same industry, which points to selling that is picking out individual stocks rather than hitting the whole sector.
Biggest movers
- Nasdaq gainers: AMD up 5.86% to $585.3, Broadcom up 5.54% to $364.36, Keurig Dr Pepper up 2.06%.
- Nasdaq decliners: Marvell down 8.76% to $150.04, Strategy down 6.49% to $114.41, onsemi down 5.79%.
- NYSE: Arista Networks up 5.06%, ExxonMobil up 1.84% and ConocoPhillips up 1.6%, while GE Aerospace is down 3.47%, General Motors down 2.98% and Ford down 2.86%.
Strategy, which holds bitcoin, is falling in step with the crypto market's slide.
What the VIX and bond yields are saying
The VIX is often called Wall Street's fear gauge because it rises when traders pay more for protection against swings. At 19.91 it is up from 18.7 at the previous close. Its moves have been modest so far, suggesting nervousness rather than panic.
The 10-year yield is at 5.13%, up from 5.10%. Yields rise when bond prices fall, and a higher yield raises the return investors can earn without owning stocks. The Dollar Index is up 0.18% at 103.36. See the live 10-year yield page for the latest reading.
