STOCK MARKET
Dow Jones ended at $35,227.69 (+0.01%)
S&P 500 ended at $4,536.34 (+0.03%)
Nasdaq Composite ended at $14,032.81 (-0.22%)
The stock market ended the week with mixed performances due to investors evaluating the latest corporate earnings results. While some companies exceeded expectations, others reported underwhelming results, leading to a mix of positive and negative reactions in the market. Consequently, during this uneven session, the Nasdaq Composite decreased following the lower-than-expected results from of transportation giant CSX and American Express. Additionally, the upcoming Nasdaq-100 rebalance and the expiration of index and stock options contributed to the volatility and downward pressure on the Nasdaq Composite. On the other hand, although almost unchanged, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased slightly, with the Dow Jones experiencing gains for a tenth consecutive session – a winning streak not seen since August 2017.
