US stocks end the session with mixed results.

  
Analysis, US Market

NASDAQ is a record close

The major indices all opened sharply lower on the overnight news that Apple earnings and revenues would be lower as a result of the coronavirus.  However, although the S&P and Dow remained in the red, the NASDAQ index eked out a small gain which was also good enough for a new record close.
The final numbers are showing him him:
  • Dow industrial average, -165.69 points or -0.56% at 29232.39
  • S&P index -9.84 points or -0.29% at 3370.32
  • NASDAQ index +1.56 points or 0.02% at 9732.74

It’s a long weekend too

The S&P 500 sold off on the past three Fridays on coronavirus fears into the weekend. Those sellers were punished by rallies the rest of the week and now it appears that sellers have had a change of heart, even with a three-day weekend looming.
  • S&P 500 +6 points (+0.2%) to 3380 — a record close
  • DJIA -0.1%
  • Nasdaq +0.2%
