NEW YORK: The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed the first trading session of 2024 lower, weighed by a fall in Apple shares after a broker downgrade and declines among other big-tech names triggered by a move higher by Treasury yields.
The lacklustre session follows a year where Wall Street's three major indexes notched double-digit gains on the back of optimism around artificial intelligence and stabilising inflation. The S&P 500 ended last week within 1% of a record closing high reached in early 2022.
