Mixed Results for Stock Market: Dow Jones Surges, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Decline; Nvidia Drops After Becoming Most Valuable Company

The stock market showed mixed results on June 20 and 21, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting its best weekly performance since May, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished lower. Nvidia, a mega-cap technology stock and chipmaker, was a significant contributor to the downturn in both indices. The company had become the most valuable public company after reaching an all-time high on June 20 but then dropped by 3.54% on June 21.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 39,150.33, up by 15.57 points or 0.04%. The S&P 500 finished at 5,464.62, down by 8.82 points or 0.16%, while the Nasdaq Composite settled at 17,689.36, a decrease of 37.91 points or 0.21%. Salesforce and Cisco Systems were among the top performers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the week.

The economic data released during this period included a decline in new unemployment claims but an increase in overall number of people on benefits rolls to its highest level since January. The Federal Reserve officials' comments regarding interest rates also influenced market movements.

In other news, Dell Technologies and Super Micro Computer experienced declines following reports of server orders for Elon Musk's AI startup. Microsoft remained a significant player in the tech sector, while Amgen and Nike continued their upward trends.

    • Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari: ‘It would take a year or two to get inflation back to 2%’
    • Money markets see 58% chance of 25-basis-point rate cut by US central bank in September
  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes several statements that contain potential informal fallacies. Firstly, in the quote 'There’s still a lot of noise in there about supply and demand still isn’t really that strong. But there’s just been.. a willingness to sort of come back to that area where we’re going to be needing energy going forward,' the author uses an appeal to emotion when stating 'there's just been.. a willingness to sort of come back.' This is not a logical reason for the statement made and therefore can be considered an informal fallacy. Secondly, in the quote 'The news that we got today was just another negative weakness in the economy,' the author uses an overgeneralization when stating 'the news that we got today was just another negative weakness.' This statement is not supported by any evidence provided in the article and therefore can be considered an informal fallacy. Lastly, in the quote 'Meanwhile, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said it would take a year or two to get inflation back to 2%, as wage growth might still be too high,' the author uses an appeal to authority when stating 'Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said.' While this statement is factually correct, it does not provide any logical reasoning for the fallacy being found and therefore can be considered a form of informal fallacy if used as the sole basis for determining a position or conclusion.
    • There’s still a lot of noise in there about supply and demand still isn’t really that strong. But there’s just been.. a willingness to sort of come back to that area where we’re going to be needing energy going forward.
