00:00Now, let's break down what's happening in the U.S. stock market, especially the S&P 500.
00:05The first up, we have the UnitedHealth that's seeing a steep decline in the stock shares price.
00:12As of last night, if you look at what happened to UnitedHealth last night, it was down by 17.79%, making the price at 311.
00:23As compared to other counters and peers, CVS was down by 6.65% as well.
00:32This is under the healthcare and healthcare plans as well.
00:34So, what happened to UnitedHealth?
00:36The announcement where UnitedHealth's group CEO or Chief Executive, Andrew Witte, resigned as of Tuesday
00:44and the company suspended its annual forecast due to surging medical costs, sending shares plunging nearly 18% to a four-year low.
00:53Chairman Stephen Hemsley, 72 years old, who was CEO before stepping down in 2017, will assume the CEO title once again.
01:02And Witte chose to leave for personal reasons, but the company said without elaborating further.
01:08And his exit comes only a few weeks after UnitedHealth cut its annual forecast and reported its first earnings miss since 2008 financial crisis,
01:18marking a major setback under Witte's leadership.
01:20And also, the next one, we have the Microsoft counter.
01:24As of this morning, Microsoft was down by 0.03% to stand at 449% in terms of the value of the company.
01:35In terms of market capitalization, it is still one of the largest under the technology and software and infrastructure market as compared to other peers.
01:42Like Oracle was up by 3.21%.
01:46And of course, Microsoft has some important news, which Microsoft said on Tuesday it was laying off less than 3% of its workforce or around 6,000 employees.
01:56As the technology giant looks to rain, it costs while funneling billions of dollars into its ambitious bet on artificial intelligence AI.
02:05The cuts will be across all levels and geographies and are likely to the largest since Microsoft's laid off 10,000 employees in 2023.
02:15The company let a small number of staff go in January over performance-related issues, but the new cuts are not related to that, according to CNBC, which first reported the news.
02:27Big tech has been spending heavily on AI as they see the new technology as a major growth engine, while slashing costs elsewhere to safeguard profit margins.
02:38And Google has also laid off hundreds of employees in the past year as it looks to control costs and also prioritize AI.
02:45And also, they continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success and dynamic marketplace.
02:53And of course, other market as well, the counter as well, NVIDIA was up by 5.63% as of last night at S&P 500 as compared to the PS.
03:06And also, if you look at under technological as well, Apple was up by 0.01%.
03:12And Amazon, consumer cyclical was up by 1.31% as same goes to automotive manufacturing.
03:21Tesla was up by 4.93% as of this morning.
03:24Very interesting if you look at this number.
03:26But if you look at healthcare was down, drug manufacturers also down, and discount stores also down in S&P 500.
03:34But the bigger market capitalization counters such as Microsoft under technology, semiconductors, consumer electronics, consumer cyclical are all up as of last night.
03:45That is all for U.S. market that we can present as of this morning.
