Major stock indices close modestly lower with the Nasdaq leading the way.
The major U.S. stock indices closed modestly lower on Friday, with technology shares again leading the declines. The NASDAQ was the weakest performer, falling 0.24%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.09% and the S&P 500 edged lower by 0.05%.
The NASDAQ has now declined in each of the past five trading sessions and is down 4.60% for the week. With two trading days remaining in June, the index is lower by 6.21% for the month, putting it on pace for its worst monthly performance since March 2025, when it fell 8.21%.
The S&P 500 also posted its fifth consecutive daily decline, although the losses over the last three sessions have been minimal. The index fell 0.05% today after declines of just 0.01% on Thursday and 0.10% on Wednesday, highlighting a market that has been drifting lower rather than accelerating to the downside. For the week, the S&P 500 is down 1.95%, its worst weekly performance since the week ending June 1. For the month, the index has fallen 2.98%, which would mark its weakest month since March's 5.09% decline.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to hold up relatively well. Although it slipped 0.09% on the day, the blue-chip index still gained 0.60% for the week and remains higher by 1.65% for June.
Meanwhile, the small-cap Russell 2000 continues to shrug off concerns about higher interest rates. The index added 0.07% on Friday, bringing its weekly gain to 1.01%. For the month, the Russell is up an impressive 3.10%, making it the standout performer among the major U.S. indices.
As the first half of the year draws to a close, the major indices remain firmly in positive territory:
- NASDAQ: +8.84% year-to-date
- Dow Jones Industrial Average: +7.94% year-to-date
- S&P 500: +7.43% year-to-date
- Russell 2000: +1.28% year-to-date
