Microsoft reported annual revenue from its cloud computing service Azure exceeding $75 billion, while Meta Platforms issued an upbeat third-quarter sales outlook. The Dow and S&amp;P 500 closed lower Wednesday, while the Nasdaq gained a small gain. The Federal Reserve left its benchmark overnight policy rate steady at its July meeting, but not all members agreed with the decision. CNBC&#8217;s Ross Mayfield, investment analyst at Baird, said that the market&#8217;s currently &#8220;stretched&#8221; valuations made these moves sense. The S&amp;P 500&#8217;s decline marked its second day of losses following a streak of six record closes in a row. CNBC&#8217;s Ross Mayfield suggested that the market needs to consolidate and take a breather, and it will grab on to whatever it needs to as an excuse.
