Nasdaq Leads U.S. Stock Losses as Major Indexes Fall Friday

The Nasdaq led losses among major U.S. stock indexes Friday, falling 1.09%, while Bitcoin and Ether also declined over the 24 hours through 9:59 a.m. ET.

The S&P 500 fell 0.50%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.04%. The Nasdaq’s decline was more than twice the S&P 500’s, while the Dow was nearly flat. The stock figures are intraday moves, not closing results.

Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $68,868, down 3.62% over 24 hours, and Ether (ETH) was at $1,947.72, down 2.65%, as of 9:59 a.m. ET (14:59 UTC). The crypto changes cover a 24-hour period, so they reflect a different measurement window from the stock-index moves.
