Lazard Inc's stock fell by 7.11%, crossing down the 5-day SMA, reflecting a challenging trading environment.
The Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 indices are down 0.39% and 0.46%, respectively, indicating a broader market weakness that has affected many stocks, including Lazard.
This decline comes despite recent positive momentum in Lazard's stock performance over the past week, suggesting that external market conditions are currently overshadowing individual stock trends.
