US stocks drop with Nasdaq down 2% as Snap earnings disaster sends shockwave through tech sector
  • Nasdaq led stock market declines on Friday, falling nearly 2% after Snap reported earnings.
  • Snap's disastrous results sent a shockwave through the tech sector as investors worry about the state of online advertising.
  • The decline in tech stocks on Friday came even as the 10-year US Treasury yield fell considerably.

US stocks fell on Friday, with the $4 declining nearly 2% after Snap's disastrous second-quarter results sent a shockwave through the tech sector.

$4 in Friday trades after the company missed analysts' revenue estimates and reported a wider loss year-over-year. The lack of visibility in Snap's business due to a continued slowdown in online advertising spend led management to say it wouldn't provide third-quarter revenue guidance.

The poor results from Snap $4 like $4 and $4, which both fell more than 6%. Both tech giants report earnings next week, and investors will be closely watching for any clues if advertisers are pulling back spending in anticipation of an economic recession.

Other stocks were down due to disappointing earnings on Friday included $4 and $4, among others.

Here's where US indexes stood at the 4:00 p.m. ET close on Friday:

Not all results have been bad so far this earnings season, and investors are sifting through the data to get a sense of the current state of the economy. Of the 17% of $4 companies that have reported earnings, 80% have beat profit estimates by a median of 7%, while 76% beat revenue estimates by a median of 2%, according to Fundstrat.

Meanwhile, commodity prices continue to fall, which is a benefit for consumers who have been dealing with surging inflation in recent months. Wheat prices $4 against Ukraine after the two countries signed a deal to unblock shipments of the grain.

Russian oil $4 that used to carry sanctioned Iranian crude, as "dark" trading in commodities from the heavily sanctioned nation continues to grow. India $4 for Russia's discounted oil.

$4 oil fell as much as much as 1.63% to $94.78 per barrel. $4, oil's international benchmark, fell as much as 0.71% to $103.12.

$4 jumped 0.50% to $23,036. Ether prices rose 0.55% to $1,570.

$4 jumped as much as 0.65% to $1,723.70 per ounce. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell 10 basis points to 2.78%.
