Tesla, Nvidia, Amazon, Disney, And Musk Follows Buterin

Benzinga examined the prospects for many investors’ favorite stocks over the last week — here’s a look at some of our top stories.

The three major averages ended their multiple week long winning streaks. The S&P 500 was down 1.4%, marking an end to its five-week rally. The Nasdaq, after an eight-week winning stretch, also fell by 1.4%, recording its poorest weekly performance since March. The Dow saw a downturn of almost 1.7%, halting its three-week rise.

On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell confirmed that there would likely be further hikes in the interest rate until there is a substantial reduction in inflation.

His comments came a week after officials from the Federal Open Market Committee chose not to increase rates for the first time in over a year. However, Powell suggested that this pause does not indicate an end to the Federal Reserve’s rate hiking plans; rather, it is a short break.
