Meta Platforms (META) was the session’s standout, closing higher by 3.4%, the largest move on the list in either direction. On the other side of the ledger, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and NVIDIA (NVDA) both pulled back, with AMD’s decline the steeper of the two semiconductor names.
Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) each edged higher, closing up 1.3% and 1.1% respectively, while Tesla (TSLA) and Amazon.com (AMZN) slipped modestly, both off a little over 1%. Visa (V) added 1%.
The remainder of the watchlist was comparatively quiet. SpaceX (SPCX), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Alphabet (GOOGL) each finished with gains under half a percent, while UnitedHealth Group (UNH) was little changed, down 0.2%. Overall, moves across most names stayed within a narrow band, with Meta and the two chipmakers accounting for the day’s clearest directional swings.
