Tech shares led stock markets lower on Wednesday, with AMD leading the way with a -17.3% drop following strong earnings that weren’t enough to satisfy investors. It’s usually a noteworthy point in the Bull cycle when stocks drop even after outpacing analyst estimates.
The Nasdaq lost its 23 handle, closing down -1.5%. The broader S&P 500 was spared much of the selloff, dropping only half a percentage point.
Commodity prices fluttered, with precious metals giving up some of their earlier gains. Silver was back trading above $90/oz during the morning.
Retail stocks had another positive day, and Walmart posted a fifth positive session, maintaining its new $1 trillion valuation.
Novo-Nordisk (NVO), and Uber (UBER) also fell following their earnings results, while Novo competitor Eli Lilly (LLY) rose +10%.
