Nasdaq, S&P 500 end lower as investors sell tech, buy less pricey sectors
The Nasdaq and S&P 500 fell on Wednesday as investors sold tech stocks and moved into less highly valued sectors, as they also awaited remarks from Federal Reserve officials at their Jackson Hole symposium this week. Tech stocks, which drove much of the recovery from Wall Street's April selloff, have been pulling back. The S&P 500 technology index .SPLRCTwas down on the day, while sectors such as energy, healthcare and consumer staples rose. 'A broader lens tells you it's more of a rotation than a true sell off,' said Allspring's senior portfolio manager, Bryant van Cronkhite. 'Tech valuations look extended in the context of inflated spending today. Number two, I would say that there are a lot of pockets of the market that look very attractive from a valuation standpoint and they've been broadly ignored.' According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 lost 16.40 points, or 0.26%, to end at 6,394.97 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 144.76 points, or 0.68%, to 21,170.19. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.48 points, or 0.00%, to 44,923.75. Analysts listing other factors behind the tech sell-off mentioned OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's comments last week about artificial intelligence stocks being 'in a bubble,' and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology study that showed many tech companies were struggling to translate AI into actual profits. Some investors also worried about government interference in the private sector. President Donald Trump's administration is looking into taking equity stakes in chip firms such as IntelINTC.O, weeks after unprecedented revenue-sharing deals with Nvidia and AMD. Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Intel and Micron fell. Nvidia's quarterly results on August 27 are keenly awaited for clues on demand for artificial intelligence. Other megacap growth names such as Apple and Meta also came under pressure. Minutes from the Fed's July meeting, where interest rates were left unchanged, showed almost all policymakers viewed it as appropriate to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4.25% to 4.50%, despite two dissenters. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to speak on Friday at the central bank's annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. His remarks will be closely watched for policy signals. Investors have been pricing in a 25-basis-point rate cut in September, according to data compiled by LSEG. Meanwhile, investors also monitored Trump's call for the resignation of Fed Governor Lisa Cook, with the president citing allegations that she was involved in mortgage fraud. Earnings from big retailers, seen as a barometer for the health of the American consumer, are also due this week as sentiment has taken a hit from concerns that tariffs could drive prices higher. Target after the company named a new CEO and retained its annual forecasts that were lowered in May.

Stock futures are flat after a 4-day losing streak for S&P 500: Live updates
A trader works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 4, 2022. Source: NYSE Stock futures were little changed in overnight trading Wednesday following a four-day losing streak for the S&P 500 as tech names dragged the broader market lower. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average were flat. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures also traded near the flatline. Big Tech names and chipmakers led losses again Wednesday as investors continued to rotate out of high-flying stocks. Amazon, Apple and Alphabet all registered losses of more than 1%. Broadcom dipped 1.3%, while Intel dropped 7%. At one point, Nvidia fell more than 3% during the session but closed just 0.1% lower. "There just hasn't been much conviction behind the recent bout of tech selling, and most people assume it will be over relatively soon," Adam Crisafulli, founder of Vital Knowledge, said in a note. "This mindset suggests a dangerous degree of complacency, and it means the 'pain trade' will be for the tech underperformance to continue." Investors are eager to hear from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday at the central bank's annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo., where he could offer insights into the path of interest rates. Fed funds futures are pricing in a more than 80% likelihood of the central bank cutting interest rates at its next policy gathering in September, according to CME's FedWatch tool. Minutes from Fed's July meeting showed policymakers are worried about the state of the labor market and inflation, though most agreed that it was too soon to lower interest rates. Fed Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman dissented against holding rates steady, marking the first time two voting Fed officials have done so since 1993. "The Fed is worried about inflation accelerating as companies pass tariffs on to consumers," said David Russell, global head of market strategy at TradeStation. "The minutes are consistent with Powell's hawkish comments last meeting. The bulls might get some cold water splashed in their faces at Jackson Hole." Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook said on Wednesday that she has "no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet." Cook's comments come after Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said she should resign or be fired over what he claimed was evidence of "mortgage fraud." "To be honest, I think she needs to resign quickly," Pulte said of Cook on CNBC's "Money Movers." "I think she will have to resign, or I think she will be fired." President Donald Trump also called on Cook to "resign, now!!!" on Truth Social. Read the latest on this story here. — Kevin Breuninger, Darla Mercado Coty shares tanked more than 15% in extended trading after the beauty retailer's management forecast a weak first half of fiscal year of 2026 with declines in both sales and profit. Still, Coty sees a turnaround in the second half as new product launches and tariff mitigation kicks in. For the latest quarter, Coty reported revenue of $1.25 billion, higher than the $1.20 billion estimate per LSEG. — Yun Li

S&P 500 Gains and Losses Today: Intel Stock Retreats; Analog Devices Jumps After Strong Earnings
Key Takeaways The S&P 500 declined 0.2% on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025, as tech stocks slid and minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting highlighted policymakers' concerns about tariffs and inflation. Intel stock gave back some of its recent gains as discussions about the U.S. government possibly acquiring an equity stake remained in focus. Analog Devices posted better-than-expected quarterly results, and shares of the chipmaker pushed higher. Major U.S. equities indexes were mixed on Wednesday as tech stocks slid and minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting highlighted policymakers' concerns about tariffs and inflation. The S&P 500 lost 0.2% Wednesday, marking the fourth straight losing session for the benchmark index. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.7%, while the Dow ended with a gain of less than 0.1%. Intel (INTC) stock gave back some of its recent gains, dropping 7% to log the S&P 500's weakest performance on Wednesday as discussions about the U.S. government possibly acquiring an equity stake remained in focus. The drop reversed the stock's jump yesterday after the announcement of a major investment by Japanese investment firm SoftBank (SFTBY). Shares of Micron Technology (MU) and other chipmakers with CHIPS Act grants also fell, following reports the Trump administration could look to strike similar deals with them as the one it's weighing with Intel. Micron shares lost 4%. Shares of Target (TGT) slipped 6.3% after the retailer said that CEO Brian Cornell would step down. Target tapped Michael Fiddelke—its current chief operating officer and a company veteran who has played a key role in plans to reshape operations—to take over the CEO role effective early next year. The announcement of the leadership change came as Target reported a decline in sales, though they topped analysts' expectations, and profits that matched estimates. Analog Devices (ADI) shares avoided the downward pressure on the broader semiconductor industry, surging 6.3% to notch the S&P 500's strongest daily gain. The manufacturer of sensor and power management chips topped quarterly earnings estimates, and provided a better-than-expected outlook. The company highlighted resilient demand trends despite trade-related uncertainty. Medtronic (MDT) shares added 3.7% after the medical device maker announced that it would add two new members to its board of directors following the accumulation of a significant position by activist investor Elliott Management. UBS and Wells Fargo lifted their price targets on Medtronic stock following the news. Shares of agribusiness and food products giant Bunge (BG) gained 3.1% as JPMorgan kicked off coverage of the stock with an "overweight" rating. Analysts indicated that the company could be set to benefit from policies related to biofuels in the U.S. potentially boosting demand for soybean oil. The firm also suggested efficiencies stemming from the acquisition of Netherlands-based Viterra could help drive Bunge's earnings growth.
