  • Colorado Public Companies Lose $17 Billion in Friday's Stock Market Plunge
    June 5, 2026, 11:19 PM EDT. Colorado's publicly traded firms collectively lost over $17 billion in market value amid a broad U.S. stock selloff triggered by stronger-than-expected economic data and rising fears of higher interest rates. Tech stocks, including semiconductor leader Nvidia, bore the brunt of declines, while crypto miner Riot Platforms dropped 10.2% following Bitcoin's dip below $60,000. Energy and gold mining firms, typically defensive plays, also slumped. Denver-based Newmont Corp. alone shed nearly 8% of its share value, erasing $9.2 billion. Some consumer goods companies, like Natural Grocers and Pilgrim's Pride, bucked the trend with modest gains. The selloff wiped out $2.3 trillion in U.S. equity value, marking the worst market day since October.
