The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell for a seventh session on Friday, posting its longest run of losses since 2020.

The blue-chip index lost 86.06 points, or 0.2%, to close at 43,828.06. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.12% to 19,926.72. The S&P 500 ended the session little changed, closing at 6,051.09.

For the week, the Dow posted a 1.8% decline, while the S&P 500 slid about 0.6% and ended a three-week winning streak. The Nasdaq rose 0.3% in the period.

“We’re kind of stuck in this trading range,” Jay Hatfield, CEO at Infrastructure Capital Advisors, told CNBC. “The Nasdaq will outperform, small caps will underperform, [and the] Dow will underperform till we get some catalyst.”

Nvidia fell more than 2%, and Meta Platforms shed more than 1%. Amazon shares were also marginally lower. On the other hand, Broadcom reached a market cap of $1 trillion, rallying more than 24% after posting fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted earnings that beat estimates and reporting that artificial intelligence revenue soared 220% for the year.

The moves come on the heels of a losing session on Wall Street for the three major averages. The Nasdaq Composite also broke below the 20,000 threshold.
