    Russell 2000 (RUT): -0.30%

  • On August 7, 2025, major U.S. stock indexes showed mixed performance. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.35%, closing at a record high, driven by gains in chip stocks like Nvidia, Broadcom, AMD, and Taiwan Semiconductor, as well as a 3% surge in Apple shares after its $100 billion U.S. manufacturing investment announcement. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, declined 0.1% and 0.5%, respectively, losing early gains.

  • Despite these daily losses, all major indexes were on track for weekly gains following significant losses the previous week due to tariff and economic concerns.

  • U.S. stock futures rose slightly early Friday, with Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 futures each up about 0.25%-0.30%, following a mixed Thursday. Despite tariff concerns, chip stocks supported the Nasdaq after Trump exempted U.S.-based manufacturers from a 100% semiconductor tariff.

    Key Movers

  • Notable S&P 500 decliners included Eli Lilly, down 14% after disappointing drug trial results, and Fortinet, which fell 22% due to a lackluster outlook.

  • Top gainers included Insulet, up 9.5%, and Becton Dickinson, up 8.9%, both driven by strong earnings.
