Stocks Slide: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Face Second Consecutive Day of Losses
U.S. stocks opened on a downward trend on Wednesday, reflecting concerns over recent market developments. All three major stock indexes are set to face their second consecutive day of losses.
Stock Market Performance
As trading commenced, several key movements were recorded:
- Dow Jones Industrial Average: Decreased by 0.1%, trading around 49,117.
- S&P 500: Fell by 0.5%, approximately at 6,924.
- Nasdaq: Experienced a decline of over 0.8%, around 23,519.

Impact of International Decisions
Technology stocks are particularly vulnerable following reports that China has imposed a ban on U.S. cybersecurity software. This development has intensified pressure on the tech sector.
Upcoming Supreme Court Rulings
At 10 a.m. Eastern Time, the Supreme Court is expected to announce its ruling regarding President Donald Trump’s tariffs. This decision could further influence market dynamics.
While the court’s agenda includes several argued cases, it has not specified which rulings will be revealed today.
