Transcript

Mark: Welcome to today's market update podcast based on the latest available data from September 10, 2025. I'm Mark.

Susan: And I'm Susan. Let's dive right into the major indices and see how they performed yesterday. Starting with the S&P 500, which gained 19.43 points to close at 6,532.04. It seems like we saw some positive movement there.

Mark: Yes, definitely a positive day for the S&P 500. However, the Dow Jones took a bit of a hit, declining by 220.42 points to end the day at 45,490.92. Not the best day for the Dow.

Susan: It looks like the Nasdaq had a small gain, though, rising by 6.57 points to close at 21,886.06. So, a mixed day overall for the indices, with some ups and downs.

Mark: Right, Susan. Now, let's take a closer look at some individual stocks. We had NVIDIA closing with a gain of $0.69 at $177.33. Meanwhile, Tesla saw a decline of $2.76, closing at $347.79.

Susan: And Amazon had a tough day, declining by $7.19 to close at $230.33. Microsoft also saw a decrease, closing at $500.37, down $2.61.

Mark: Netflix wasn't spared either, dropping $16.26 to end at $1,247.71. Quite a drop there. Google, on the other hand, managed a small gain, closing at $239.56, up by $0.31.

Susan: Meta also saw a decline, with its stock closing at $751.98, down $13.15 from the open. It's been a challenging day for some of these tech giants.

Mark: Now, let's focus on Tesla for a moment. The stock opened at $350.55 and closed at $347.79, marking a decline of $2.76. Despite the drop, Tesla continues to be a major player in the electric vehicle space. It's always interesting to see how market sentiment around Tesla can vary day by day.

Susan: Absolutely, Mark. Tesla's stock performance can often reflect broader market trends and investor sentiment towards the EV industry. It's a stock that many retail investors keep a close eye on.

Mark: Indeed. Before we wrap up, here's a little market-related anecdote to lighten the mood. You know, Susan, the stock market is often compared to a roller coaster. Some say it's the only place where people get excited when prices go down!

Susan: That's a good one, Mark! It really does capture the thrill and unpredictability of the market. Well, that's all for today's market update. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you in the next episode.

Mark: Thanks, everyone! Remember to keep your seatbelts fastened, and happy investing!
