Markets Slide: Dow in Negative Territory as Nasdaq Hits Morning Lows
Dow turns negative as Nasdaq hits morning lows; oil drops under $69, Treasury yields rise and investors rotate out of AI and tech stocks.

What stands out
The clip opens on a quietly dramatic moment: the Nasdaq hits morning lows as investors rotate out of AI and broader tech, oil slips below $69 and Treasury yields tick higher. That mix matters because it pinches the very revenue streams Nasdaq, Inc. leans on, trading volumes, derivatives flow and listing momentum, even when the company’s long-term story remains intact. For disciplined investors this is less a panic alarm and more a reminder that market-facing businesses smell volatility first, and those smells can create both buying windows and real short-term risk.
Market read
Context for the move
Wall Street’s fundamental read on Nasdaq, Inc. is bullish, reflecting double-digit revenue growth and stronger net income performance, while technicals are flashing caution. Nasdaq’s short-term price action, down about 6% over 20 trading days with the relative strength index (RSI) near 33, leans oversold, so expect headline-driven swings to dominate the next quarter as fee sensitivity meets volume uncertainty. Over a full year, the secular advantages in listings, data licensing and options activity should blunt one episode of tech rotation, but investors should budget for lumpy fee cycles.
