SpaceX shares fell 6.83%, dropping below its opening price on its first day of trading.
PANews reported on July 8th that, according to Jiemian News, SpaceX closed at $149.47 on July 7th (Eastern Time), a sharp drop of 6.83% for the day. The stock price fell as low as $149.09 during the session, marking a new low since its Nasdaq listing on June 12th and falling below its opening price of $150 on its first day of trading, though still above its IPO price of $135. This occurred on the same day as the stock's official inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index, which should have been a positive window for passive capital inflows. However, the stock price moved in the opposite direction, compounded by a broader market correction in tech stocks, pushing the stock into a deep correction phase.
