- Dow snapped a three-day winning streak to end lower on Oct. 13, 2026, per MarketWatch's market wrap
- Memory chip stocks drove a selloff that pulled the Nasdaq lower and kept the S&P 500 near flat, with CNBC framing the session around big-bank earnings and chip declines
Why it matters: The Dow's loss after three straight up sessions shows momentum broke, while the chip-led drag on the Nasdaq (versus an S&P 500 closing near flat) means the pain was sector-specific to memory names — not a broad sell-off — on Oct. 13.
