Mark: Hi everyone, welcome to today's market update based on the latest available data from October 29, 2025. I'm Mark, and joining me is Susan. Let's dive right into the action.
Susan: Thanks, Mark. Starting with the major indices, it was a mixed day. The S&P 500 ended slightly down, declining by just 0.30 points to close at 6,890.59. The Dow Jones also saw a dip, down 74.37 points to finish at 47,632.00.
Mark: That's right, Susan. But it wasn't all gloomy. The Nasdaq had a strong showing, gaining 130.98 points, closing at 23,958.47. It seems like the tech-heavy index is still riding a bit of momentum.
Susan: Indeed, Mark. Speaking of tech, let's touch on some individual stocks. NVIDIA saw a minor decline, dropping $0.94 to close at $207.04. Tesla was also down, closing at $461.51, a $0.99 decrease from its opening.
Mark: Amazon had a similar day, slipping by $1.37 to end at $230.30. Microsoft fell a bit more sharply, down $3.39 to close at $541.55. And Meta was also slightly down, closing at $751.67, a decrease of $3.08.
Susan: However, not all was downbeat. Netflix saw a small gain, up $0.57 to close at $1,100.41. And Google was a standout performer, gaining $6.56 to close at $275.17.
Mark: Definitely some interesting movements, Susan. For today's spotlight, let's take a closer look at Tesla. It opened the day at $462.50 and ended slightly lower at $461.51. Despite the small dip, Tesla continues to be a key player in the electric vehicle market, with ongoing innovations and expansions that keep investors watching closely.
Susan: Absolutely, Mark. Tesla's performance might have dipped yesterday, but its long-term prospects remain a hot topic among investors, especially with the increasing global shift towards electric vehicles.
Mark: And to wrap things up, let's end with a little market-related humor. Susan, did you hear about the stockbroker who fell into a well?
Susan: No, I didn't, Mark. What happened?
Mark: Well, they say he was just trying to get to the bottom of the market!
Susan: That's a good one, Mark. Thanks for ending on a lighter note. And thank you, everyone, for tuning in to today's market update. Be sure to join us again for more insights and analysis.
Mark: Until next time, happy investing!
