Stocks show mixed results amid shifts in earnings and tariffs
On August 6, 2025, U.S. stocks ended with mixed results after a day of volatile trading, following previous sessions of losses. The S&P 500 rose 0.73% to close at 6,345.06, and the Nasdaq Composite increased by 1.21%, finishing at 21,169.42. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 81.38 points, or 0.18%, ending the day at 44,193.12. Apple played a key role in boosting market sentiment, climbing 5% after news surfaced that the company would increase its investment in U.S. manufacturing by $100 billion, raising its total commitment to $600 billion over four years. Despite a positive day, the market had experienced challenges, with S&P 500 showing five down days in the last six and the Dow experiencing six negative sessions in seven days.
