The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite pulled back from fresh all-time intraday highs on Thursday, with both indexes taking a breather from their gains in the previous session as the U.S. government shutdown continues on.
The broad market index dropped 0.28% to close at 6,735.11, while the tech-heavy index slid 0.08% to finish at 23,024.63. At their highs of the day, the S&P 500 added 0.2%, and the Nasdaq was up 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, declined 243.36 points, or 0.52%, to close at 46,358.42.
Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were coming off a record-setting session Wednesday, with the former notching its eighth winning day of the last nine and the latter ending above the 23,000 mark for the first time ever. The Dow, on the other hand, finished slightly below flat Wednesday as blue-chip stocks lagged. But Nvidia helped the 30-stock index restrict losses, rising more than 2% in the prior trading day after CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC that computing demand has “gone up substantially” this year.
