On July 21, S&P Global fell 4.31% in regular trading, trading at approximately $434.29/share, with turnover of $73.35 million. The decline came as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East triggered a broad risk-off move across equity markets, with the S&P 500 index erasing earlier gains after Jordan intercepted and shot down three missiles launched from Iran.
The Financial Exchanges and Data sector experienced widespread selling pressure. MSCI Inc fell 11.22%, Moody's declined 2.52%, CME Group dropped 1.66%, and Intercontinental Exchange slid 1.71%, while Coinbase Global bucked the trend with a 9.86% gain. The sector-wide weakness suggests macro-driven de-risking rather than company-specific concerns, as multiple Wall Street firms recently raised SPGI price targets — JPMorgan to $555, Jefferies to $550, and Baird to $521 — all maintaining bullish ratings ahead of the company's Q2 earnings report scheduled for July 28.
