Stock exchange trends vary: Nasdaq moderately up, standard stocks with losses - analysis 2024

According to a report by www.deraktionaer.de, US stock markets took a different path on Tuesday. While the technology stocks on the Nasdaq rose moderately, the standard stocks continued the so far mixed stock market year 2024 with losses. The Dow Jones Industrial ended trading 0.42 percent lower at 37,525.16 points, while the market-wide S&P 500 fell 0.15 percent to 4,756.50 points. The Nasdaq 100, on the other hand, gained 0.17 percent, and the technology-heavy index continued its dynamic recovery the previous day. Investors are weighing optimism about artificial intelligence against concerns that the Fed may be in a hurry to cut interest rates. Inflation data expected on Thursday could provide new insights that influence market developments.

One stock that stood out that day was Juniper Networks, which saw its share price jump nearly 22 percent. This happened after a report in the Wall Street Journal that the IT group Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is said to be interested in the network equipment provider. There is talk of advanced discussions and a $13 billion transaction. HPE shares, on the other hand, fell almost nine percent. In addition, shares of Urban Outfitters rose 7.7 percent on strong sales figures, while Boeing posted further losses due to new problems with its 737-Max jets.

Tesla shares also lost value as the electric car maker had to lower the range figures for its entire range of cars due to new regulatory requirements, according to media reports. This led to a price loss of 2.3 percent and an annual decline of 5.5 percent. Pepsico shareholders also suffered a 1.2 percent share price loss after a Bernstein analyst warned of the risk that the outlook could be lowered due to current weak industry trends. On the Nasdaq stock market, Crowdstrike was one of the biggest gainers, up 4.8 percent, following an upgrade from analysts at Morgan Stanley.

Overall, these developments indicate a volatile and wait-and-see investor sentiment that could potentially impact the market due to expected inflation data and regulatory changes.
