All Major Indexes Now Down

10:30 am

After the Nasdaq opened the day in the green, all major indexes are now down.

As of 10:30 a.m. ET, the Nasdaq Composite is down .38% while the S&P 500 is down .65% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped 1.05%.

The biggest anchor on the Nasdaq is Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), which is down 2.30%.

Fresh tariffs on Canada have driven sentiment lower early in the trading day, we’ll see if stocks continue to sell-off as the day goes or whether a relief rally is on the horizon.

The markets are recovering from yesterday’s massive sell-off by starting today as a mixed bag. After the worst performances from the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 in several years, both indexes are showing fractional movement in either direction while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slides a bit further. Wall Street’s AI darling and a Mag 7 stock Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) is helping sentiment today, rising 2.6% at last check and lifting some of its tech peers.

NVDA stock as well as Broadcom (Nasdaq: AVGO) were helped by analysts at Bernstein, who reiterated their “outperform” ratings on both stocks, advising investors to pounce on any dip.

Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) shares are also popping with a 3.6% gain after yesterday’s double-digit-percentage drop. President Trump has come out swinging against Tesla boycotters, announcing he would be buying an EV for  himself in support of Elon Musk, whose net worth was slashed by $29 billion in yesterday’s market sell-off. Morgan Stanley analysts have reiterated their overweight rating on Tesla stock, calling the pullback in the stock a “buying opportunity.” With the exception of Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) stock, which is falling about 2%, each of the Mag 7 stocks started the day in the green.

Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) is gaining 2.5% on the day after revealing it would begin charging customers for checked bags in a first for the airline.

Here’s a look at the performance as of morning trading:

Dow Jones Industrial Average: Down 303.11 (-0.74%)
Nasdaq Composite: Up 23.62 (+0.11%)
S&P 500: Down 20.02 (-0.34%)
