Wall Street Slumps as Big Tech Stocks Drag Markets Down

Wall Street took a hit on Wednesday as losses from major tech giants like Nvidia and Tesla pushed the market lower. The downturn ended a brief period of stability, with the S&P 500 dropping 1.1%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 132 points (0.3%), and the Nasdaq Composite leading the losses with a 2% decline.

The market downturn was driven by the so-called “Magnificent Seven,” a group of dominant tech stocks that have been central to Wall Street’s recent fluctuations. These companies, which soared in previous years due to AI-driven enthusiasm, are now seeing sharp corrections:

  • Nvidia plunged 6%, bringing its total loss for the year to 15.5%.
  • Super Micro Computer, a key AI server builder, dropped 8.9%.
  • Tesla fell 5.6%, compounding its 32.6% decline in 2025, as concerns over CEO Elon Musk’s political controversies weighed on investor sentiment.

U.S. automakers experienced wild swings after the White House announced that President Donald Trump would impose tariffs on auto imports:

  • General Motors dropped 3.1%.
  • Ford Motor fluctuated throughout the day but ended with a modest 0.1% gain.
  • Auto companies had already adjusted their manufacturing across North America following prior trade agreements, but the new tariffs could further complicate production strategies.

While the market had been stabilizing after entering a “correction” earlier this month, analysts warn that volatility is far from over. A new round of U.S. tariffs set to take effect next week has added to investor anxiety. Barclays strategists, led by Venu Krishna, responded by cutting their forecast for the S&P 500’s year-end target from 6,600 to 5,900, reflecting a more modest 2% gain from current levels.

The firm also slashed its earnings outlook for S&P 500 companies, though they do not predict a full-scale recession. The impact of tariffs remains uncertain, with potential outcomes ranging from a market surge (if tariffs are reduced) to a significant downturn if they are strictly enforced.

Despite shaky confidence, recent economic reports paint a mixed picture:

  • Durable goods orders, which track purchases of items like machinery and airplanes, unexpectedly increased last month, defying predictions of a contraction.
  • However, business investment data showed a downturn, hinting that companies may be holding back on spending due to tariff concerns.
  • Treasury yields fluctuated in response, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising slightly to 4.34% from 4.31%.

While major indices fell, a few stocks stood out with gains:

  • GameStop surged 11.7% after posting better-than-expected quarterly results and announcing plans to invest part of its treasury in bitcoin.
  • Dollar Tree rose 3.1% after selling Family Dollar for $1 billion and reporting strong quarterly profits.
  • Cintas, a provider of work uniforms and business supplies, climbed 5.8% following strong earnings.

At the closing bell:

  • The S&P 500 fell 64.45 points to 5,712.20.
  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 132.71 points to 42,454.79.
  • The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 372.84 points to 17,889.01.

Internationally, stock markets showed mixed results:

  • European markets were mostly stable, with the FTSE 100 in London rising 0.3% after an inflation report came in better than expected.
  • Asian markets had a mixed performance amid concerns over global trade policies.

With uncertainty looming over trade policies and corporate earnings, investors remain on edge as they await further clarity on economic trends and potential tariff revisions.
