Wall Street Ends Wednesday In The Red As Risk Sentiment Remains Fragile: S&P 500 Movers At The Close
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
U.S. stock markets ended Wednesday lower, with the S&P 500 down 0.8%, Nasdaq down 1.2%, and Dow Jones down 0.6%. Small-caps, tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), were the hardest hit, down 1.4%. The decline was driven by weak demand in the 10-year U.S. bond auction and significant debt issuance by leading companies. Major gainers in the S&P 500 included Fortinet (FTNT), Axon Enterprise (AXON), and Global Payments (GPN), while major laggards were Super Micro Computer (SMCI), Airbnb (ABNB), and Charles River Laboratories (CRL).
