Nasdaq closes lower, capping its worst week since April: Live updates​

The Nasdaq Composite moved lower Friday, pressured by more losses in artificial intelligence stocks, and was on pace for a losing week as new economic data added to investors’ fears of a slowdown.

The tech-heavy index shed 0.3%. In contrast, the S&P 500 traded around the flatline, as did the Dow Jones Industrial Average. At their lows of the day, the Nasdaq had pulled back 2.1%, while the broad market S&P 500 and blue-chip Dow had fallen 1.3% and more than 400 points, or roughly 0.9%, respectively.

Stocks came off their lows after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., offered up a new plan to Republicans that would enable the record-breaking U.S. government shutdown to end. The proposal would provide short-term funding for federal government operations in exchange for a one-year extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits.
