Late slump tarnishes big bounce in US equity markets

Good chunk of the gains evaporate late

SPX chart
It was a very good day for equity markets with the S&P 500 up 2% and the Nasdaq up 2.7% but a late swoon kept it from being a great day.
The S&P 500 rose as high as 3424 and peaked with just 30 minutes left in trading but it took a sharp fall from there to close at 3399. That turned a 2.8% gain into a 2.0% climb.
Closing changes:
  • SPX +67 to 3399
  • DJIA +439 to 27,940
  • Nasdaq +293 to 11,141

US stocks close on the lows. Nasdaq hits correction territory

Nasdaq takes a dive

A few attempts to bounce intraday fell flat and stocks finished near the lows of the day. The S&P 500 fell  while the Nasdaq’s 4% drop extended the decline since last Wednesday’s record high above 10% — an unofficial correction.
The Nasdaq is now just 1.0% away from wiping out the entire August-Sept gain. Tesla shares fell 21% on the day, its worst ever one-day loss.
