Wall Street Slips to Start 2024 and Gives Back Some of Last Year’s Big Gains

 


The stock market started the year on a negative note, with Wall Street slipping and giving back some of last year’s big gains.

Futures for the S&P 500 lost 0.8% before the bell on the first trading day of 2024, while futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 0.7%. The S&P 500 slipped 13.52 points, or 0.3%, to 4,769.83. The benchmark index still posted a rare ninth consecutive week of gains and is just 0.6% shy of an all-time high set in January of 2022.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 20.56 points, or 0.1%, to 37,689.54 after setting a record Thursday. The Nasdaq slipped 83.78 points, or 0.6%, to 15,011.35, but that was barely a blemish on an annual gain of more than 43%, its best performance since 2020.
