Market News:

U.S. stocks slumped on Wednesday, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell expressed great uncertainty over the effects of surging oil prices due to the Middle East conflict on inflation and the economy.

The benchmark S&P 500 index slid 1.4% to close at 6,625.38 points, the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite slipped 1.5% to end at 22,152.42 points, and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 1.6% to settle at 46,224.68 points.

 

Visa Inc Class A stock reached a 52-week low, hitting $298.85, as the company faces ongoing market volatility. The $571 billion payments giant has seen its shares decline nearly 12% year-to-date, trading just 1% above its 52-week low of $299.

 

Oil prices were higher on Wednesday, with global benchmark Brent hovering near $110 a barrel after an attack to the largest natural gas field in the world shared by Iran and Qatar.

 

Steven J. McLaughlin, a ten percent owner of Expensify, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXFY), indirectly acquired Class A Common Stock worth $2.13 million between March 3 and March 11, 2026. The purchases came as the stock traded near its 52-week low of $0.74, down 78% over the past year.

 

Harley Davidson stock reached a 52-week low, closing at $17.10, marking a significant downturn for the iconic motorcycle manufacturer.

 

Zillow Group (NASDAQ:ZG) shares rose 2% Wednesday after Bloomberg reported that Compass Inc. is voluntarily dismissing its lawsuit against the real estate platform, ending a months-long legal battle over home-listing rules. The lawsuit, filed by Compass in June, had alleged that Zillow used anticompetitive tactics by blocking listings that hadn’t been posted to a local multiple-listing service within 24 hours of being publicly marketed. Compass, the largest U.S. real estate brokerage, had sought to build a private listings network where properties would be marketed with its own agents before appearing on public platforms.

 

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co’s stock has reached a 52-week low, closing at 6.51 USD. This marks a significant downturn for the tire manufacturing giant, which has experienced a 27.65% decline in its stock price over the past year. The company’s shares have faced pressure amid broader market challenges and specific industry concerns, contributing to this latest low.

 

Figma (NYSE:FIGM) shares fell 8.8% Wednesday after Google Labs announced updates to Stitch, its AI-powered design tool that converts natural language descriptions into user interface designs.

The updated Stitch allows users to create high-fidelity UI designs from text descriptions without starting with traditional wireframes. Users can input business objectives or describe desired user experiences to generate design concepts, potentially competing with Figma’s core design platform offerings.
