How major US stock indexes fared Thursday, 9/25/2025
Wall Street stumbled to its longest losing streak in more than a month as U.S. stocks gave back more of this year’s big gains.
The S&P 500 fell 0.5% Thursday for its third straight drop. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.4%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 0.5%. All three indexes are still near their records set at the start of the week.
Stocks felt pressure from reports showing the U.S. economy may be stronger than economists thought. That could make the Federal Reserve less likely to cut interest rates several times in the coming months.

The S&P 500 fell 33.25 points, or 0.5%, to 6,604.72.
