Why MSCI (MSCI) Stock Is Down Today

MSCI Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of investment analytics provider MSCI (NYSE: MSCI) fell 2.6% in the afternoon session after the major indices continued to retreat (Nasdaq -1.5%, S&P 500 -1.2%) amid profit-taking and renewed concerns about tariffs. 

The decline in equities was widespread, tracking a global slide in stocks and bonds. Investors pointed to several factors driving the negative sentiment, including a global bond selloff that lifted the U.S. dollar, resurfacing budget concerns, and rekindled anxiety about lofty valuations, particularly in the technology sector. The downturn also coincides with a historically challenging period for stocks, as September is traditionally the weakest month of the year for equity market returns.
