Fri Apr 24, 2026 8:17 am JST Market

US stocks declined on April 23, with the NY Dow falling 179.71 dollars to 49,310.32 dollars from the previous day. Reports that Iran's parliament speaker withdrew from negotiations dampened optimism regarding US-Iran ceasefire talks, increasing uncertainty over the Middle East situation and weighing on blue-chip stocks. Declines in software-related stocks also undermined investor sentiment.

American Express searched for a bottom, while Salesforce and Nike plunged. Lockheed Martin traded weakly, and ServiceNow , Las Vegas Sands , and Freeport-McMoran faced selling pressure. On the other hand, Caterpillar , Verizon Communications , and Johnson & Johnson gained ground.

The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 219.07 points to 24,438.50, declining from the previous day. Microsoft and Meta Platforms showed lackluster performance. Tesla lowered its price level. Meanwhile, Texas Instruments posted significant gains.
