MSCI fell $7.92, or 1.37%, from $579.39 to $571.47 over the supplied trading window. The stock initially gained $3.53 on July 29, but surrendered that advance over the next two sessions, dropping $7.18 on July 30 and another $3.50 on July 31. It briefly rebounded $2.19 on August 3 before giving back $2.96 on August 4, when volume increased to 827,928 shares. The only explicit company-specific catalyst in the evidence was Morgan Stanley lowering its price target to $700 after cutting estimates, which likely weighed on sentiment.
