Mark: Welcome to today's market update, based on the latest available data from October 28, 2025. I'm Mark, and joining me is Susan. Let's dive into the numbers, Susan.
Susan: Thanks, Mark. It was an interesting day in the markets. The S&P 500 closed at 6,890.89, up by 15.73 points. The Dow Jones also had a positive day, gaining 161.78 points to close at 47,706.37. And the Nasdaq rose by 190.03 points, ending at 23,827.49.
Mark: Indeed, a positive day for the indices. Now, let's talk about some individual stocks. NVIDIA, for instance, had a strong performance, opening at $193.05 and closing at $201.03, which is a gain of $7.98.
Susan: That's right, Mark. NVIDIA's performance is quite impressive, reflecting investor confidence. On the other hand, we saw Microsoft take a hit, declining by $7.93 to close at $542.07 after opening at $550.00.
Mark: And speaking of stocks that declined, Google closed at $268.43, down $1.77 from its opening. Meta also saw a slight decline, closing at $751.44, down by $1.19 from its open.
Susan: Let's not forget about Tesla and Amazon. Tesla gained $5.77, closing at $460.55, while Amazon had a modest gain of $1.03, ending at $229.25.
Mark: Now, for our stock spotlight, let's focus on Netflix. It opened at $1,094.00 and closed at $1,102.50, gaining $8.50. Quite the performance, Susan!
Susan: Absolutely, Mark. Netflix's gain could be attributed to positive investor sentiment around its latest content releases and strong subscriber numbers. The stock's momentum suggests a bright outlook, supported by its innovative strategies and expansion plans.
Mark: That's a good point. Netflix has consistently found ways to engage its audience and adapt to changing viewing habits, which keeps investors interested.
Susan: Before we wrap up, here's a little market-related anecdote for our listeners. Did you hear about the stockbroker who took a nap on the trading floor? When he woke up, he was in a bull market!
Mark: [Laughs] A classic! Thanks for joining us today, everyone. Keep an eye on the markets, and we'll be back with more updates soon.
Susan: Have a great day, everyone!
