Major benchmarks saw modest, mixed trading on Wednesday, with no stock in the watchlist moving more than 2% in either direction. Declines outnumbered advances across the group: SpaceX (SPCX), Alphabet (GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), Amazon.com (AMZN), and Tesla (TSLA) all closed lower, while NVIDIA (NVDA), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Visa (V), and Meta Platforms (META) finished higher. Microsoft (MSFT) was effectively flat, slipping just $0.10 to $512.80.
Chipmakers diverged from the broader tech cohort: NVIDIA and AMD both advanced, with AMD closing at $615.73 and NVIDIA at $230.86, even as Alphabet and Apple retreated. SpaceX led all decliners by percentage, closing at $148.07 after a $2.79 drop. Among the modest gainers, JPMorgan Chase added $2.35 to reach $333.18, and Visa and Meta each edged up fractionally.
Overall, the session reflected narrow, low-magnitude moves across the watchlist rather than any broad directional trend, with the largest move of the day — SpaceX’s decline — still under 2%.
