Historical Price Performance of Nasdaq 100
Here are the most significant historical price movements of the NDX price:
The Nasdaq 100 saw significant growth during the late 1990s, driven by the technology and
dot-com boom. Trading near 2,000 at the beginning of 1999, it skyrocketed above 4,000 in 2000.
Soon, the bubble burst, and the index plunged below 1,000 in 2002.
From 2003, the price was recovering, as the Nasdaq 100 took advantage of the growth of
technology companies and the emergence of new internet-related businesses.
However, during the global financial crisis (2007-2008), the Nasdaq 100, like other major
indices, experienced a sharp decline, losing around 1,000 points, but managed to rebound in the
years that followed.
Throughout the 2010s, the NDX stock index enjoyed a sustained rally, driven by the
performance of technology giants like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), and Facebook
(Meta Platforms). These companies played a significant role in pushing the index to new record
highs.
Until 2022, the index moved in a solid uptrend despite the COVID-19 pandemic. In early
2020, the Nasdaq 100, like many other indices, experienced a sharp decline, but it rebounded
relatively quickly, driven in part by the accelerated adoption of technology services during the
pandemic.
Global economic instability and enormous interest rates in the US and other countries
negatively affected the index in 2022. However, in 2023, NDX recovered and started forming a new
uptrend.
Major Factors That Affect the Nasdaq 100 Index
The index is influenced by the following factors:
The Nasdaq 100 is heavily weighted toward technology companies. Therefore, the performance
of major tech firms, such as Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), and Meta Platforms
(formerly Facebook), has a significant impact on the index. Earnings reports, product launches,
and innovations in the tech sector can drive the index higher or lower.
US economic data, such as GDP growth, employment figures, consumer spending, and interest
rates set by the Federal Reserve, can influence the NDXm price. Positive economic indicators
often boost investor confidence and drive stock prices higher. Lower interest rates tend to
encourage investment in equities, while higher rates may lead to a shift toward fixed-income
assets.
Geopolitical events, trade tensions, and international conflicts can impact the Nasdaq 100.
Trade negotiations, tariffs, and political instability in key regions can lead to increased
market volatility.
Changes in government regulations, particularly in the tech sector, can impact Nasdaq 100
companies. For example, antitrust investigations, data privacy regulations, and changes in
intellectual property laws can influence stock prices.
