The Nasdaq fell 2.6 percent.

NEW YORK — The Nasdaq composite fell 694 points, or 2.6 percent, to 26,008.86 on Thursday, its worst day since June, the Associated Press reported. The S&P 500 fell 93.74 points, or 1.2 percent, to 7,663.43, its worst day since July. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 11.89 points, less than 0.1 percent, to 52,867.98. The Russell 2000 rose 3.01 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,784.03. The weakness in technology was so broad that it masked the rest of the market, where most stocks rose. The AP said oil prices jumped on worry about the war with Iran, and that Treasury yields fell. It did not print an oil price. This note does not invent one.

The New York Times reported that Meta dropped 7 percent after the company said free cash flow had fallen and that it would issue a new class of stock to raise money for data centers and other artificial-intelligence spending. SpaceX slid more than 9 percent. The Times put the same index moves at 1.2 percent for the S&P 500 and 2.6 percent for the Nasdaq. Those are Thursday’s closes. They are not Friday’s futures.

The worst day since June.

The photograph is Wednesday morning, Oct. 21, on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, not Thursday’s close. Traders are at the screens. One, in a blue jacket, writes on a tablet. Another, in a vest, watches. No one is named, because the note is the indexes. It is not a portrait of a chief executive.
