Nasdaq Composite Falls 4.48% for Week as Dow Gains 0.68%

The S&P 500 stood at 7,651 in September 2026, up about 30% from 5,881 in December 2024, as U.S. stocks fell Friday.

Technology shares came under pressure Friday amid concerns about returns on artificial intelligence investments and rising international oil prices. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.15%, the Nasdaq 100 dropped 2.5% and the S&P 500 declined 1.1%. The pullback extended a technology-led selloff.

For the week, the Nasdaq Composite lost 4.48%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.68%. The gap between their weekly performances was the widest since July 2002. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell for an eighth straight session, its longest losing streak since 2008.
