Wall Street ended with mixed results on Friday, after a volatile session in which Tesla plummeted and other growth stocks also lost ground.
The S&P 500 index closed up 0.01% at 3,901.36 points. The Dow Jones rose 0.03% to 31,261.90 points. The Nasdaq Composite technology index fell 0.3% to 11,354.62 points.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes posted their seventh straight week of declines, their longest losing streak since the dot-com bubble ended in 2001.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its eighth consecutive weekly decline, the longest since 1932, during the Great Depression.
The S&P 500 spent most of the trading session in negative territory and at one point retreated just over 20% from the closing record it hit on Jan 3, before ending down 18% from that level. and stable for the day.
Closing 20% below that record high would confirm that the S&P 500 has been in a bear market since peaking in January, according to a widely accepted definition.
The tech-focused Nasdaq was down about 27% from its closing record set in November 2021.
Tesla was down 6.4% and weighed heavily on the S&P 500 after Chief Executive Elon Musk characterized claims in a news report that he sexually harassed a flight attendant on a private jet in 2016 as “utterly false.”
For the week, the S&P 500 is down 3.0%, the Dow Jones is down 2.9% and the Nasdaq is down 3.8%.
