Mark: Welcome to today's market update, folks. We're diving into the latest market data from October 31, 2025. Let's kick things off with a look at the major indices. Susan, how did they perform?

Susan: Hi Mark! Well, it was a day of gains for the major indices. The S&P 500 closed up 17.86 points, landing at 6,840.20. It's always good to see some upward momentum there.

Mark: Absolutely, Susan. And the Dow Jones also saw a positive movement, gaining 40.75 points to close at 47,562.87. It seems like a solid performance overall.

Susan: Indeed, Mark. The Nasdaq had an impressive day as well, gaining 143.82 points to close at 23,724.96. Tech stocks seem to be driving some of that growth.

Mark: Speaking of tech stocks, let's dive into some individual performances. NVIDIA saw a decline with its stock closing at $202.49, down $3.96 from its opening. Not the best day for them.

Susan: No, it wasn't. But Tesla had quite the opposite experience. It closed at $456.56, up $9.81 from its opening. It seems like Tesla continues to capture investor interest.

Mark: That's right, Susan. Amazon, on the other hand, didn't have the best day. It closed at $244.22, declining $5.88. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster for them recently.

Susan: Definitely, Mark. Microsoft also saw a decline, closing at $517.81, down $11.07. It's interesting to see some of these big names having off days.

Mark: True, and speaking of interesting moves, Netflix gained $13.47 to close at $1,118.86. It looks like they're riding a wave of positive sentiment.

Susan: That's a good point, Mark. Meanwhile, Google closed slightly down at $281.82, losing $1.38. Not a huge drop, but worth noting.

Mark: And Meta had a rough day, closing at $648.35, down a significant $26.16. That's quite a drop for them.

Susan: Now let's take a closer look at one stock in particular—Netflix. They closed up $13.47, which is quite impressive. It seems like their strategy of investing in more original content is paying off.

Mark: Definitely, Susan. Netflix continues to innovate and expand its content library, which is likely maintaining investor confidence. It's always fascinating to see how their efforts in content creation align with market performance.

Susan: Absolutely, Mark. As we wrap up, did you hear the one about the stockbroker who fell into the well?

Mark: No, I haven't. What happened?

Susan: He didn't see that bottom coming!

Mark: [laughs] That's a good one, Susan. And with that, we conclude today's market update. Thanks for tuning in, everyone.

Susan: Have a great day, and happy investing!
