  • S&P 500 and Nasdaq Fall as Microsoft Earnings Sting Tech Sector
    January 29, 2026, 10:54 AM EST. U.S. stocks fell sharply Thursday, dominated by tech losses following Microsoft's better-than-expected earnings that still featured slower cloud sales and rising capital expenses. The Nasdaq Composite dropped about 1.8%, dragged down by Microsoft's plunge of over 10%. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones slid 0.7% and 0.2%, respectively. Investors also reacted to Meta's strong revenue outlook, lifting its shares by over 7%, and Tesla's strategic shift with its first annual revenue decline, causing a 1.5% dip in its shares. Meanwhile, rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran pushed oil prices above $70 per barrel and gold briefly to record highs. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, but markets expect cuts later in the year amid an upcoming Fed chair announcement from Trump.
