Transcript

Mark: Welcome to today's market update. It's June 23, 2025, and we're here to recap the latest available data from June 20, 2025. How are you doing today, Susan?

Susan: I'm doing well, Mark. Excited to dive into these numbers. Let's start with the major indices. It looks like they all held steady on June 20th.

Mark: That's right. The S&P 500 closed at 5,967.84, the Dow Jones ended at 42,206.82, and the Nasdaq was at 19,447.41. No changes there, so it seems the broader market took a breather.

Susan: Indeed, it's almost like they were taking a day off! But we did see some movement in individual stocks. NVIDIA, for example, opened at $145.45 and closed at $143.85, down $1.60.

Mark: Exactly, and Tesla also saw some declines. It opened at $327.95 and dropped to $322.16 by the close, a decrease of $5.79.

Susan: Amazon followed suit, opening at $214.68 and closing at $209.69, a drop of $4.99. It seems like a cautious day for tech giants overall.

Mark: Microsoft wasn't spared either, opening at $482.23 and closing at $477.40, declining by $4.83.

Susan: Netflix had a bit of a drop too, from an opening of $1,234.45 to a close of $1,231.41, down $3.04.

Mark: And Google saw a sharper decline, opening at $174.87 and closing at $167.73, a decrease of $7.14.

Susan: Meta had the largest drop among them, opening at $700.75 and closing at $682.35, which is an $18.40 decline.

Mark: Those are some significant movements for sure. Now, let's focus on one stock for a closer look. How about we talk about Meta?

Susan: Sounds good. Meta's drop was quite noticeable, from $700.75 to $682.35. That's an $18.40 dip in one day.

Mark: Yes, it seems like investors might be reacting to broader market sentiment or perhaps specific news affecting Meta. It's a substantial move, suggesting some unease or reassessment of its value.

Susan: Right, and while the decline might concern some investors, others might see it as a buying opportunity if they believe in Meta's long-term potential. It's all about perspective.

Mark: Absolutely, and it's important for investors to stay informed and consider their own investment strategies and risk tolerance.

Susan: Exactly. Before we wrap up, do you have any interesting market anecdotes for our listeners, Mark?

Mark: I do, Susan. Did you know that the term "bull market" originated from the way a bull attacks, with its horns thrusting upward? It's a fitting metaphor for upward market trends.

Susan: That's a fun fact! And on that high note, that's all for today's market update. Thanks for tuning in, everyone!

Mark: Thank you, and remember to keep an eye on the market but never let it dictate your emotions. Have a great day, everyone!
