Stocks Plunge: S&P 500 and Nasdaq See Steep Declines on October 10, 2025

On October 10, 2025, the United States stock market experienced broad declines across major indexes. The Standard and Poor’s 500 closed at six thousand five hundred sixty-one point one six, down one hundred eighty-two point six one points, which translates to a decline of two point seven one percent for the session. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell even more sharply, shedding eight hundred seventy-six point four three points, or three point four nine percent, ending at twenty-four thousand two hundred fifty-one point five six. Specific returns for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were not available in the latest data, but the overall mood was clearly risk-off, with both large and small caps under pressure. The losses today followed several sessions of volatility, with technology and growth stocks bearing the brunt of the selling. Investors appeared cautious amid rising Treasury yields, renewed concerns about corporate earnings resilience, and geopolitical tension. According to Trading Economics, recent trading has seen notable weakness in semiconductor and software stocks, while defensive sectors like consumer staples and utilities showed relative stability, though still with modest declines. Broadcom was the worst performer among large caps, down five point nine zero percent, while Qualcomm slid seven point two four percent. On the upside, Walmart was one of the few positive outliers, rising point zero nine percent, and CME Group posted a gain of one point zero two percent. Other actively traded stocks included Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, and Alphabet, all finishing lower by at least one point seven percent, with several falling more than three percent. In terms of trading volume, large technology and communication services stocks dominated activity, reflecting investor repositioning. There were no major economic data releases today, but market participants are closely watching the kickoff of third-quarter earnings season, as highlighted by Investor’s Business Daily. Pre-market futures indicate further downward pressure for Friday’s session, with technology and consumer discretionary names leading losses. Looking ahead, listeners should monitor upcoming releases from key financial institutions and major consumer brands, as well as any updates on inflation and jobs data. Federal Reserve commentary and geopolitical developments could also serve as catalysts for renewed volatility. Thank you for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for more daily updates.
