The U.S. stock market has experienced a notable downturn, with the S&P 500 witnessing more stocks declining than advancing for ten consecutive trading days, marking the longest such streak in at least 20 years. This trend highlights a significant breadth issue in the market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average also recording its longest losing streak since 2020, falling for seven straight days. Despite the overall market slump, the Nasdaq managed to close slightly higher, buoyed by gains in tech stocks like Broadcom, which surged 24.43% after reporting strong earnings. However, not all tech stocks fared well, with Nvidia experiencing a decline. The market's mixed performance comes amidst concerns over re-surging U.S. inflation and higher interest rates, which have influenced investor sentiment and market dynamics.
