# Space Sector Slides Broadly Intraday, ASTS Down Nearly 9%, RKLB Drops Over 5%

During intraday trading on August 24, space concept stocks faced significant selling pressure, with the sector showing broad declines. As of press time, **ASTS.US** led the losses among mainstream names, trading at $62.945, down **8.31%** from the previous close; **RKLB.US** followed closely, trading at $68.595, with a decline of **5.48%**.

Other mainstream names also struggled, with **DXYZ.US** at $32.710, down **4.99%**; **VCX.US** at $43.250, down **2.75%**; and **RDW.US** at $11.460, down **4.66%**. While a few derivative names like RKLZ.US managed slight gains, they failed to offset the overall bearish tone.

In terms of turnover, RKLB.US saw particularly active trading, with intraday turnover exceeding $790 million, indicating some bottom-fishing interest, though selling pressure remained heavy. Investors should watch for potential stabilization or rebound in the sector.
