Following a period of heightened tension in the Middle East, the three major indexes of the New York Stock Exchange took a breather.
On the 25th (Eastern Daylight Time), near the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 42,982.43, a decline of 106.59 points (0.25%) from the previous session. The Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500 index finished down 0.02 points (0.00%) at 6,092.16, while the Nasdaq Composite index ended up 61.02 points (0.31%) at 19,973.55.
There were no significant events to influence the market that day; however, the fact that the major indexes approached their previous highs dampened buying sentiment. This week, the Nasdaq has surged 2.7% up to that day, while the S&P 500 has risen 2.08% and the Dow index has increased by 1.84%.
Big tech companies with a market capitalization exceeding $1 trillion also showed mixed trends. Nvidia surged 4.33%, and Google saw an increase of over 2%. Microsoft, Apple, and Broadcom also held steady. In contrast, Tesla fell by more than 3%.
In the case of Nvidia, the surge resulted in a market capitalization of $3.7651 trillion, reclaiming the top spot in global market capitalization. Jensen Huang, the founder of Nvidia, emphasized at the annual shareholders' meeting that robot technology, following AI, presents the largest growth opportunities for Nvidia, indicating that many growth opportunities still exist, which contributed to the rise in its stock price.
