Wall Street Opens 2025 with a Dip as Tesla's Delivery Woes Weigh Down Market


Wall Street kicked off 2025 on a somber note as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 248.02 points (-0.58%) to 42,296.20. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also experienced slight declines, with Tesla's disappointing delivery figures being a significant drag on the market.

Despite the overall market downturn, there were some bright spots. Chipmakers Nvidia and Broadcom saw their shares rise, and crypto-linked stocks like **MicroStrategy** also gained. Analysts remain optimistic about the year ahead, predicting strong growth, albeit at a slower pace compared to previous years.

Investors are now looking ahead to see if the market can recover from this initial stumble and build momentum as the year progresses.
