14/03/24 Briefing

US stocks were a mixed bag on Wednesday, my colleague Karen Friar writes, with the S&P 500's (^GSPC) record-setting run hitting pause as several tech giants saw their stocks retreat.

The S&P 500 was off about 0.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 0.1%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led the losses, falling more than 0.5% after tech led Tuesday's rally. High-flying Nvidia (NVDA) fell more than 1%, while Tesla (TSLA) fell over 4.5% after a Wells Fargo downgrade and sales warning.
