S mall caps and blue chips lagged a generally down market Friday as the Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average were responsible for most of the selling. Meanwhile the Nasdaq and S&P 500 tried to limit losses as Nvidia NVDA and Palantir PLTR continued to attract buyers on the stock market today.

Stocks on Wall Street fell sharply on Monday, led by losses across major indices, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq. The S&P 500 shed 0.8%, its worst single-day drop since mid-June, while the Dow and Nasdaq both declined 0.9%. Despite the setback, all three indices remained close to their recent record highs.
