Stock market today: Falling tech stocks slow Wall Street’s rally and leave it mixed

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:48:39 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Tech stocks are falling Wednesday, keeping Wall Street mixed and sapping more momentum from its five-week rally. The S&P 500 was 0.2% lower in afternoon trading. It’s on pace for a third straight pullback after rallying last week to its highest level in more than a year. The Nasdaq composite was lagging the market and down 0.7% as of 3 p.m. Eastern time. Slightly more stocks were rising than falling on Wall Street, though, particularly in the energy and industrial industries. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 5 points, or less than 0.1%, at 34,059.Wall Street has been on a tear this year, and the S&P 500 has rallied roughly 14% amid hopes that inflation is coming down quickly enough for the Federal Reserve to stop hiking interest rates soon, which could allow the economy to avoid a recession. Some analysts say the rally ran too far, too fast while inflation has remained stubbornly high, which may force the Fed to keep rates higher for longer.Fed Chair J...

(CNN) — The prosecution rested its case Wednesday in the trial of the former school resource officer who stayed outside a Parkland, Florida, high school while 17 people were killed and 17 others were wounded during a February 2018 mass shooting.Throughout their case, prosecutors sought to portray Scot Peterson, then a deputy with the Broward Sheriff’s Office, as a law enforcement officer who failed to appropriately respond during the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School despite years of service and active shooter training.Instead, the state alleges, Peterson took cover outside the scene, the school’s 1200 building, for more than 45 minutes.“You’re supposed to go towards the shots to find out, investigate what’s going on,” Detective John Curcio of the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the state’s final witness, testified Wednesday.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:48:39 GMT

Hudson Fire Chief Bryan Johannes said the cost of repairs will be significant after a lightning strike damaged one of the Hudson Fire Department’s fire stations over the weekend. The strike happened during a thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon. The fire department’s station at 1 Washington Street is now closed, as a result, and crews are instead responding out of the department’s headquarters on Cox Street in down. “It’s going to be a challenging couple of weeks,” Johannes said of the road ahead. The town of Hudson was incorporated back in the 1860s. The 1 Washington Street fire station was then built in the 1890s. Well over 100 years later, this weekend’s lightning hit the structure’s historic bell tower, damaging computers, the phone system and the building’s fire alarm system, according to Johannes. “Those shingles disintegrated and shards were thrown all over the place,” Johannes said. The hole left behind by the lightning strike was still visible in the ...
