'Magnificent 7' stocks have lost $2 trillion so far this month, driving the S&P 500 decline: Chart of the Day

The article says June’s S&P 500 decline is being driven primarily by weakness in mega-cap technology, not a broad-based market collapse. The Magnificent Seven—Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Nvidia, Tesla, and Meta—have collectively lost about $2 trillion in market value this month, accounting for more than two-thirds of the index’s total market-cap loss. The group is down a median 9.7% in June, while the rest of the S&P 500 is slightly higher. Microsoft and Amazon have each lost over $350 billion, with Apple and Alphabet down about $300 billion each. The piece highlights how concentrated index leadership can make the market appear weaker than it is, and suggests the S&P 500’s trajectory depends heavily on whether chip and AI-linked megacaps stabilize.
