So Far in 2025, It Is Looking Tough for the Nasdaq Composite Index (March 10, 2025)

The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 4.0% on Monday, March 10, 2025, bringing its total year-do-date loss to 9.5%. We used our Market Index Performance and Performance-to-Date In Market History analysis tools to prepare two charts that clearly summarize how the Nasdaq Composite index has performed so far in 2025.

Figure 1 shows the daily percent (%) returns of the Nasdaq Composite index from the start of 2025 to March 10. The 4.0% loss today (Monday, March 10, 2025) is the largest single-day loss this year and, indeed, it is the largest single-day loss since September 13, 2022 (see our Largest Fluctuations in Market History analysis tool).

**Figure 1.** Daily percent (%) returns of the Nasdaq Composite index since the start of 2025 (1/1/2025 to 3/10/2025). See this analysis tool.

Figure 2 shows the year-to-date performance of the Nasdaq Composite index (to March 10) from 2015 to 2025. Looking at historical data back to 2000, we do not find any historical evidence that year-to-date market performance to March 10 is a good predictor of performance for the entire year.
