Dow Jones (DJI): -0.51%
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.
