STARBUCKS CORP

Starbucks

Starbucks is one of the most widely recognized restaurant brands in the world, operating more than 40,000 stores across more than 80 countries as of the end of fiscal 2024. The firm operates in three segments: North America, international markets, and channel development (grocery and ready-to-drink beverage). The coffee chain generates revenue from company-operated stores, royalties, sales of equipment and products to license partners, ready-to-drink beverages, packaged coffee sales, and single-serve products.

Starbucks Corp

For its China business, Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) is weighing choices including a possible stake sale that would value the assets at several billion dollars.
What Happened: Through a financial consultant, the coffee behemoth has approached technology businesses and private equity firms this week to get comments on its China operations and expansion plans, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-15/starbucks-is-said-to-kick-off-process-to-sell-stake-in-sprawling-china-business">reported</a>, citing sources.
The action was taken as domestic competitors like Luckin Coffee Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LKNCY#OTC">LKNCY</a>) have gained a sizable market share in China, Starbucks&#8217; second-largest market, and the company confronts growing difficulties there.
Even with almost 7,750 locations, Starbucks&#8217; quarterly revenue in China through March was approximately $740 million, whereas Luckin&#8217;s revenue for the same period was $1.2 billion.
Starbucks did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: &#8220;We remain committed to China for the long term,&#8221; CEO Brian Niccol stated when discussing China operations during an April earnings call. We continue to be open about how we can accomplish that expansion because we see a lot of promise for our company there in the years to come.&#8221; 
The potential transaction follows similar strategies employed by McDonald&#8217;s Corp. and Yum! Brands Inc., which previously sold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/05/45360322/restaurant-stocks-rebound-as-us-china-tariff-truce-offers-sector-relief-whats-going-on">stakes in their China operations to private equity firms</a> to enhance local market adaptation.
Starbucks&#8217; stock has declined 25% from its February peak amid ongoing challenges. The company recently missed Wall Street estimates in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45168991/starbucks-sbux-stock-plunges-10-this-week-on-earnings-miss-recovers-losses">its fiscal second-quarter results</a>, with global comparable store sales dipping 1%.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Starbucks&#8217; stock ended the day at $86.54, down 0.40%. The shares fell 0.12% to $86.43 after hours. Year to date, it&#8217;s down 6.11%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse Has Sold Up to $245K Worth Of Honeywell Intl Stock: Here's What You Should Know

Starbucks's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NYSE">SBUX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.67% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 33.39 million shares sold short, which is 2.94% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.59 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Starbucks Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747162834_0_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Starbucks has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Starbucks's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Starbucks's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.45%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Starbucks?

Restaurant stocks that were hammered earlier in the week are starting to recover as markets respond to a major trade agreement between the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation"> U.S. and China. </a>
What To Know: After sharp declines sparked by President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policy on Wednesday, a new 90-day truce announced Friday has led to a broad shift in sentiment, especially for consumer-facing sectors like restaurants.
The initial round of tariffs hit restaurant stocks hard due to their exposure to global supply chains, particularly in sourcing food machinery, packaging and commodities from China and other countries. 
Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>), which operates over 7,600 stores in China and relies heavily on coffee imports, was among the worst hit, falling more than 11% on Thursday. Chains like Shake Shack (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>), Dutch Bros (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>), CAVA Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>), Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>) and Portillos Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTLO#NASDAQ">PTLO</a>) also posted steep losses ranging from 7% to over 13% that day, as investors anticipated rising costs and disrupted sourcing channels. 
Friday&#8217;s announcement of a tariff rollback between the U.S. and China reversed much of the market&#8217;s earlier fear. The agreement, reached in Geneva, Switzerland, slashes U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% and reduces Chinese tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%, starting May 14. This decision effectively pauses one of the most aggressive protectionist escalations in recent trade history and removes a significant overhang for the restaurant industry.
The market&#8217;s reaction was immediate. U.S. equity futures surged, the dollar strengthened and recession probabilities dropped as optimism returned to the broader economy. 
For restaurants, the truce eases concerns over rising input costs, food inflation and supply chain disruptions, giving companies more clarity on operational planning and cost management in the short term. 
While many of these stocks are still recovering from the earlier losses, the tariff pause gives breathing room to an industry that was directly caught in the crossfire of escalating trade tensions. Investors are now watching for signs of sustained improvement in consumer sentiment and corporate earnings as the macroeconomic picture stabilizes.

Shares of restaurant companies are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could alleviate supply chain uncertainty in the sector.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has been actively buying stocks in 2025, including transactions that may have been perfectly timed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> during a market dip.</a>

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

$100 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Starbucks shares are trading lower on continued weakness after the company last week reported worse-than-expected Q2 financial results.

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets rebounded this week, fully recovering losses incurred since President Donald Trump's April 2 tariff escalation. The S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq each rose by more than 1.3%, with Friday marking the S&amp;P 500's ninth consecutive daily gain — the longest streak since 2004.
The rally was fueled by a stronger-than-expected April jobs report, with 177,000 jobs added, surpassing forecasts of 135,000. Unemployment remained at 4.2%, and sectors like healthcare and transportation led job growth. However, Q1 GDP contracted by 0.3%, the largest drop since 2022, largely due to a surge in imports ahead of tariff implementations.
Corporate earnings contributed to market optimism. Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) exceeded Wall Street estimates, with Microsoft posting its best weekly performance in years. Despite these gains, concerns linger about the long-term economic impact of tariffs, as businesses face uncertainty and potential cost increases.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.
The Bulls
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/05/45136276/mounjaro-maker-eli-lilly-clocks-45-jump-in-q1-revenue-cuts-2025-profit-outlook-but-not-due-to-tariffs">"Mounjaro maker Eli Lilly clocks 45% jump in Q1 revenue, cuts 2025 profit outlook but not due to tariffs"</a>, by Vandana Singh, reports that Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) posted a 45% year-over-year revenue increase to $12.73 billion in Q1 2025, driven by strong sales of Mounjaro and Zepbound, but lowered its 2025 EPS forecast to $20.78-$22.28 due to a $1.57 billion charge related to acquired in-process R&amp;D, clarifying that the guidance does not account for potential future tariff changes.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45137383/microsoft-rallies-after-crushing-q3-earnings-goldman-sachs-lifts-target-to-480">"Microsoft rallies after crushing Q3 earnings, Goldman Sachs lifts target to $480"</a>, by Piero Cingari, reports that Microsoft Corp.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45038400/plug-power-rallies-as-new-financing-cost-cuts-boost-confidence-in-turnaround-plan">"Plug Power rallies as new financing, cost cuts boost confidence in turnaround plan"</a>, by Anusuya Lahiri, reports that Plug Power Inc.

Shares of companies within the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading higher amid overall market strength following April's jobs data and reports that China's Commerce Ministry is assessing possible trade talks with the US.

Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) shares experienced a sharp midweek decline of nearly 10%, falling to $76.37 after the company reported disappointing fiscal second-quarter results.
What To Know: The coffee chain missed Wall Street estimates, posting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45104438/starbucks-stock-tumbles-on-q2-earnings-ceo-says-progress-is-happening-below-the-surface">$8.76 billion in revenue</a> versus the expected $8.86 billion and adjusted earnings per share of 41 cents, missing the 50-cent forecast. 
Global comparable store sales dipped 1%, with North America down 1% and international markets down 2%, although China remained flat. The company added 213 net new stores, reaching nearly 40,800 locations.
Despite the weak performance, CEO Brian Niccol <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45104438/starbucks-stock-tumbles-on-q2-earnings-ceo-says-progress-is-happening-below-the-surface">remained confident</a> in the company&#8217;s turnaround strategy, dubbed "Back to Starbucks." Niccol emphasized that changes underway—including improved digital engagement and a revamp of the rewards program—are gaining traction, even if financial results lag.
Still, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/downgrades/25/04/45117074/starbucks-faces-brand-margin-headwinds-as-analysts-react-to-disappointing-q2">analysts showed concern</a>. Goldman Sachs downgraded the stock, citing brand weakness and falling engagement. Other firms lowered price targets amid competitive and macroeconomic headwinds. 
However, by Friday, Starbucks had recouped its post-earnings losses, suggesting investor sentiment may be stabilizing. The company continues to navigate rising costs, global trade uncertainty and soft foot traffic while focusing on operational changes to reinvigorate growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SBUX Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Starbucks&#8217; case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SBUX has a 52-week high of $117.46 and a 52-week low of $71.55.

Cues From Last Session:
Wednesday was a mixed bag for S&amp;P 500 sectors, with healthcare, industrials, and consumer staples posting good gains, while the energy segment dropped 2.70% on dropping crude oil prices and growing concerns of a recession following the latest GDP figures.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.35% during the day, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was down marginally, by 0.086%.
The markets were rattled by disappointing economic data during the session, particularly the GDP figures at -0.3%, down from 2.4% last year, and against a consensus estimate of 0.4%. Besides this, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index came in at 2.3%, ahead of estimates at 2.2%, thwarting any possibility of a rate cut in May.
As of Tuesday, the Nasdaq 100 index was down 11.93% from its previous high of 22,222.61 points. The S&amp;P 500 index was 9.40% lower, as compared to the last record high of 6,147.43 points. On the other hand, Dow Jones was down 9.77% from its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points.
The Dow Jones index jumped 141 points or 0.35% to 40,669.36, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index surged 0.15% to 5,569.06. Nasdaq Composite ended 0.086% lower at 17,446.34, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, was down 0.63%, trading at 1,964.12.

Insights From Analysts:
Ryan Detrick, a Chartered Market Technician, posted on X that markets shouldn&#8217;t be overly worried about the first-quarter GDP contraction, attributing the decline to companies front-loading imports to get ahead of upcoming tariffs.

US Stock Futures Rise As Meta, Microsoft Earnings Fuel Optimism: GDP Slump Linked To Tariff Anticipation, Not Recession, Says Analyst

Barclays analyst Jeffrey Bernstein maintains Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $106 to $98.

Citigroup analyst Jon Tower maintains Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) with a Neutral and lowers the price target from $88 to $84.

Citigroup Maintains Neutral on Starbucks, Lowers Price Target to $84

Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) on Tuesday reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45104438/starbucks-stock-tumbles-on-q2-earnings-ceo-says-progress-is-happening-below-the-surface">worse-than-expected results </a>for the second-quarter FY25. Analysts from various brokerages have provided their comments on the coffee house giant&#8217;s performance.
Goldman Sachs analyst Christine Cho downgraded the shares from a Buy to a Neutral rating and lowered the price target from $103.00 to $85.00.
The analyst cited weakening brand momentum and a slower-than-expected sales recovery in North America as the main reasons for the downgrade.
Despite recent operational changes under CEO Brian Niccol, including a revamped menu and faster service goals, key customer engagement metrics continue to decline.
Foot traffic shows modest stabilization, but not enough to suggest market share gains, the analyst said, citing rising macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, along with higher costs, which add further pressure.
HundredX data reveals that SBUX continues to trail behind its coffee industry peers in consumer sentiment. Both its Net Purchase Intent (NPI) and Net Promoter Score (NPS) have declined year-to-date and remain below the category average.
Due to rising tariff uncertainty and a weakening inflation outlook, the analyst expects continued pressure on SBUX North America same-store sales growth (SSSG) in fiscal 2025. Forecasts predict a 1% decline in SSSG, driven by a 4% decrease in traffic.

Current data from Placer and Second Measure show no significant recovery in foot traffic or sales, suggesting that ongoing headwinds even predated the materialization of tariff impacts, noted the analyst.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Logan Reich reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares and lowered the price forecast from $100.00 to $95.00.
SBUX posted mixed results in the second quarter, with North American same-store sales aligning with forecasts but international markets, especially China, outperforming expectations.
Licensed store revenue fell short, impacted by reduced foot traffic at franchisee locations. For the third quarter, the company anticipates a 3% drop in sales and flat revenue in North America, missing market projections.
Starbucks is rolling out a new labor model to improve service speed, currently in 700 stores and aiming for more than 3,000 by the end of the fiscal year. While this has led to quicker service times, higher labor costs may pressure profit margins, noted the analyst.
Coffee and tariff-related costs pose additional margin risks. Although Starbucks hedges coffee prices, recent spikes could soon impact its financials.
Management indicated that 50% of its tariff exposure is tied to coffee, 25% to Chinese merchandise, and 25% to other imports, though exact margin impacts were not disclosed.
The company is also slowing unit growth, reassessing underperforming stores, and shifting focus from coastal markets to the U.S. interior and South.
Elevated build costs and lower returns have led to increased closures, although Starbucks remains committed to doubling its U.S. store count, the analyst concluded.
Price Action: SBUX shares were down 5.6% to $80.05 on Wednesday.

Starbucks Faces Brand, Margin Headwinds As Analysts React To Disappointing Q2

Wall Street traded lower on the final session of the month, heading for its third consecutive monthly loss as economic data began reflecting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">impact of Trump tariffs.</a>
U.S. GDP shrank by 0.3% in the last quarter, marking the first economic contraction since 2022 and missing forecasts for a 0.4% expansion. The decline was driven by a surge in imports and reduced government spending.
Labor market data also disappointed. The ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added just 62,000 jobs in April—the weakest gain in nine months and well below the expected 108,000.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was down 1% to 5,500, on pace to end a six-day winning streak. Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 lagged ahead of earnings from industry titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc.
Nine of the S&amp;P 500's eleven sectors were in the red, with only consumer staples and health care posting modest gains. Energy and consumer discretionary led the losses, falling 3.3% and 2.7%, respectively.
Commodities were broadly lower. Oil tumbled 3.7% to $58 a barrel, approaching its lowest close since March 2021. Copper—often seen as a gauge of global growth—plunged 5.2% to $4.60 per pound. Natural gas declined 2.5% to $3.17 per million British thermal units.
Bond markets were steady, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering at 4.17%. Gold dipped 0.3% to $3,330 per ounce, while the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened by the same margin.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed resilience, holding steady at around $93,000 despite broader market weakness.
