Live Nasdaq Composite: Markets Retreat, Kick Off H2 2025 in Mixed Showing
Live Updates Live Coverage Has Ended Senate Greenlights Trump Spending Bill 1:16 pm by Gerelyn Terzo The U.S. Senate has passed President Trump’s Big Beautiful bill, including tax cuts and reduced Medicaid spending. After a tie-breaking vote by Vice President Vance, the bill – the very one that has caused a rift between President Trump and Elon Musk – is now set to be debated by the House of Representatives with a July 4 deadline in sight. The bill is set to add a reported $3.3 trillion in debt to America’s balance sheet. The markets remain aimless, with the Nasdaq Composite now lower by 0.55%. Ford's Upside Surprise 11:41 am by Gerelyn Terzo Automaker Ford (NYSE: F) revealed that its Q2 sales increased by 14%, blowing past the consensus estimates of a 1.4% gain. Driving the results were sales of both fossil fuel and EVs, including its F-Series trucks as well as hybrid and EVs, which are part of its electrified vehicle segment. Consumers also prioritized vehicle purchases due to the impending tariffs. Ford stock is up 3.4% today. The Nasdaq Composite has widened its losses on the day to nearly 1%. Economy Looking Up 10:07 am by Gerelyn Terzo Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is making the speaking rounds and soothed some fears by saying the economy is in a rather good place. The Fed chief went on to suggest that most policymakers are betting on interest rate cuts in 2025; but he refused to commit to lowering rates at the upcoming July FOMC meeting, stubbornly saying the decision would depend on the data. The Nasdaq Composite is now down 0.34%. This article will be updated throughout the day, so check back often for more daily updates. The markets are mixed on the heels of yesterday’s record session in which the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 extended their gains. Today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is relatively flat while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 are retreating slightly. Sectors of the economy are also giving a mixed showing, with consumer staple stocks higher while tech is under pressure. Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs is bullish, saying in a note that the stock market’s remarkable recovery of 2025 is not over, predicting that it will take more ground in the coming weeks. The S&P 500 has now advanced 20% since its lows of the year in April. While the stock market rally is likely to stick around for July, Goldman Sachs traders warn that it could fizzle out in August. EV leader Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) is pressuring the tech sector today, falling 6.2% after CEO Elon Musk returned to the political battlefield, restarting a social media wrestling match with President Trump, who threatened to scrutinize any government subsidies to Musk’s businesses. Separately, Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) has now unleashed 1 million of its warehouse robots, sending shares fractionally higher today. Here’s a look at the performance as of morning trading: Dow Jones Industrial Average: Up 0.54 (+0.03%) Nasdaq Composite: Down 89.77 (-0.46%) S&P 500: Down 15.26 (-0.26%) Market Movers Chip stock Wolfspeed (NYSE: WOLF), which uses silicon carbide in its chip sets, is soaring by a whopping 172% after the company announced it would file for bankruptcy protection. Wolfspeed has been wrestling with too much debt, a situation worsened by weakened demand from the EV and industrial sectors. Trading platform Robinhood (Nasdaq: HOOD) is tacking on 4% in today’s session amid a renewed cryptocurrency push in the U.S. and EU markets. AeroVironment (Nasdaq; AVAV) is spiraling by 6.4% today after unveiling its plan to tackle debt, including the issuance of common stock and convertible senior notes.

Live Nasdaq Composite: Markets Rev Engines for Potential All-Time Highs
Live Updates Live Coverage Has Ended So Close and Yet so Far 4:09 pm by Gerelyn Terzo The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indices both crossed over into record territory during today’s trading session but they came off those lofty levels by the market closing. The Nasdaq Composite still closed up about 1% to 20,167.91 while the S&P 500 index finished the day 0.80% higher at 6,141.02. Big Tech Downgrade 12:55 pm by Gerelyn Terzo While Tesla stock received a ringing endorsement from Wall Street analysts today, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) is seeing the other side of the spectrum. JPMorgan analysts lowered their price target on the iPhone maker to $230 from $240, keeping their “overweight” rating on the stock. The analysts are worried about demand for the iPhone 17. Apple shares are lower by 0.79% today. The Nasdaq Composite is now up 0.70%. Benchmark Bullish on TSLA 11:01 am by Gerelyn Terzo Wall Street research firm Benchmark is bullish on EV leader Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA).

Wall Street Calls 10:00 am by Gerelyn Terzo Wall Street analysts are making some calls on the following stocks this morning: KeyBanc has started coverage of networking giant Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) with an “overweight” rating, saying the stock has plenty of runway for growth. Baird analysts are bullish on health stock Haemonetics (NYSE: HAE), beginning coverage with an “overweight” rating. UBS has reiterated its “neutral” rating on Apple (Nasdaq: APPL) stock, citing risks surrounding a potential deal with AI giant Perplexity. This article will be updated throughout the day, so check back often for more daily updates. The markets are showing off as stocks come within grasp of their latest all-time high levels. With the strikes between Israel and Iran seemingly behind, the markets have reason for optimism and they are taking it. All three of the major stock market averages are in the green out of the gate, including a 0.40% advance in the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite. The S&P 500 is eyeing its latest all-time high of 2025, which is in the ballpark of 6,147, its early 2025 intraday high level. After Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) clinched a new record high of approximately $156 per share, bullish sentiment has enveloped technology stocks for the most part. On the economic front, the economy slowed at a steeper pace than originally expected in Q1 2025. U.S. GDP declined by 0.5% in Q1 compared to original estimates of a 0.2% contraction. As the data continues to flow in, the Commerce Department downwardly revised results in areas such as consumer spending and exports. Here’s a look at the performance as of morning trading: Dow Jones Industrial Average: Up 121.40 (+0.37%) Nasdaq Composite: Up 87.92 (+0.40%) S&P 500: Up 21.43 (+0.39%) Market Movers AeroVironment (Nasdaq: AVAV) is gaining 9.2% today, extending its rally after posting impressive Q4 results that were powered by robust military drone demand, fueling a 40% increase in revenue.

Micron Technology (Nasdaq: MU) is down slightly on the heels of its strong Q3 results, including better-than-expected profits and a positive outlook for the current quarter.
