**Market Podcast: Daily Stock Market Update**

Mark: ** Welcome to today's market update, based on the latest available data from November 7, 2025. I'm Mark, and joining me is Susan. Let's dive right into how the major indices performed.

Susan: ** Hi Mark! It looks like the markets had a mixed day. Starting with the S&P 500, it gained 8.48 points, closing at 6,728.80. The Dow Jones also saw a rise, gaining 74.80 points to close at 46,987.10. However, the Nasdaq bucked the trend, declining by 49.45 points to end at 23,004.54.

Mark: ** That's interesting, Susan. It seems like there was a bit of divergence among the indices. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones had a positive day, perhaps buoyed by certain sectors or large-cap stocks. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq's decline suggests some pressure on the tech-heavy index. Let's talk about some notable market movers.

Susan: ** Absolutely, Mark. Starting with NVIDIA, it opened at $184.90 and closed at $188.15, gaining $3.25. Tesla, on the other hand, had a challenging day, declining $8.40 to close at $429.52. Amazon saw a modest gain, closing at $244.41 after opening at $242.90. Meanwhile, Microsoft had a slight decline, closing at $496.82 from an opening of $496.95.

Mark: ** And then there's Netflix, which had a strong day, gaining $9.48 to close at $1,103.66. Google, however, declined by $4.51, ending at $279.70. Meta had a positive day, gaining $5.22 to close at $621.71. Now, let's take a closer look at one of these stocks. How about we discuss Tesla today?

Susan: ** Sure, Mark. Tesla opened at $437.92 and closed at $429.52, marking a decline of $8.40. This performance could be reflective of various factors, such as investor sentiment around its recent earnings or broader market trends affecting the EV sector. With Tesla, there's always a lot of market attention, as it remains a key player in the automotive and technology space.

Mark: ** Right, Susan. Tesla's stock is often quite volatile, reflecting both the company's innovative strides and market expectations. While yesterday was a down day, it's important for investors to look at the long-term growth potential and consider how external factors like policy changes or technological advancements could impact Tesla's future.

Susan: ** Definitely, Mark. It's crucial for retail investors to stay informed and not react impulsively to short-term fluctuations. And speaking of interesting market anecdotes, did you know that the term "bull market" comes from the way bulls attack, thrusting their horns upward? It's a fun way to remember that a bull market signifies rising prices.

Mark: ** That's a great tidbit, Susan! And with that, we'll wrap up today's market update. Thanks for tuning in, everyone. Stay informed and keep an eye on those market trends.

Susan: ** Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you next time with more market insights. Have a great day!
