Author: Avi Kapoor | September 05, 2024 02:55am

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, with the index in the “Neutral” zone on Wednesday.

U.S. stocks settled mixed on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite recording losses for a second session in a row.

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares fell 1.7% on Wednesday amid reports that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoenaed Nvidia and other companies as part of an investigation into potential antitrust law violations. Shares of Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR) dipped over 22% on Wednesday after the company reported worse-than-expected second-quarter 2024 earnings.

On the economic data front, the trade deficit in the U.S. increased to $78.8 billion in July, recording the biggest gap since June 2022, versus a gap of $73 billion in June.

Most sectors on the S&P 500 closed on a negative note, with energy, information technology, and materials stocks recording the biggest losses on Wednesday. However, utilities and consumer staples stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.

The Dow Jones closed higher by around 38 points to 40,974.97 on Wednesday. The S&P 500 fell 0.16% to 5,520.07, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.30% at 17,084.30 during Wednesday's session.

Investors are awaiting earnings results from Science Applications International Corporation (NYSE:SAIC), The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) today.
