Stock Market Updates: Today’s Live Report

Traders worked on the New York Stock Exchange in New York on Wednesday. Futures linked to the S&P 500 were nearly the same Tuesday night. Stocks fell as traders moved away from tech companies.

S&P 500 futures went down by 0.1%. Nasdaq 100 futures fell by 0.2%. Dow Jones futures went up by 23 points, which is less than 0.1%.

In after-hours trading, Chipotle shares dropped nearly 7%. This happened because the restaurant had fewer customers for the fourth quarter in a row. Advanced Micro Devices shares also fell by more than 7%. Analysts were not happy with their financial forecast.

Major U.S. stock averages went down in the last session. The S&P 500 lost about 0.8%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell by 1.4%. The Dow lost nearly 167 points after reaching a record earlier in the day.

Nvidia and Microsoft each lost more than 2%. Other companies, like Broadcom and Oracle, also saw their shares drop.
