This market movement occurred as Tesla reported an earnings miss.

Despite the overall decline, the index showed some signs of stabilization by recovering slightly from its intraday lows.
Broader market sentiment was also influenced by other commodity performances. Gold prices continued their downward trajectory, extending losses after experiencing their most significant decline in 12 years.
