Here is where the major benchmarks ended:

- The CBOE® Volatility Index (VIX) fell 0.25 to 12.44.
Nathan Peterson, director of derivatives analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, noted that technology was one of few sectors to buck Thursday’s market weakness, as so-called mega-caps including Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT) notched new record highs. Also, Amazon (AMZN), Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), and Netflix (NFLX) each posted new 52-week highs, illustrating continued investor rotation back into that sector.
In other markets, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved exchange-traded funds (ETF) linked to the spot bitcoin market late Wednesday. The spot market, also known as the cash market, refers to forums where commodities, securities, and other assets can be immediately exchanged between buyers and sellers. The move opens up a new crypto inroad for investors who might otherwise not want to hold actual bitcoin and looks like a potential bellwether event for individual investors and crypto itself. ETFs linked to spot bitcoin began trading today.
Bitcoin prices have nearly tripled since the start of 2023, reaching $47,000 earlier this month, partly reflecting anticipation of the SEC decision and amid hopes of easing interest rate policy.
