How major US stock indexes fared Friday

Losses in big technology companies drove more losses on Wall Street Friday, as the S&P 500 closed out October with its first back-to-back monthly decline since March.

The drops in several high-flying Big Tech stocks came after those companies issued uncertain outlooks for the future.

Investors have turned cautious amid a surge in coronavirus cases in the U.S. and Europe, Washington’s failure to deliver badly needed aid to the economy and uncertainty about the presidential election.
