US Stocks Tumble on Thursday

US stocks tumbled on Thursday, with the S&P 500 down 1.5%, the Nasdaq off 1.9%, and the Dow giving back its recent record after losing 1.5% amid a broad sell-off in AI-linked names and cooling expectations for near-term Fed easing. Markets have sharply reduced the probability of a December 25 basis point cut to roughly 50% from about 95% a month ago as several Fed officials voiced caution over further easing amid persistent inflation and gaps in official data following the government shutdown. Heavyweights including Nvidia, Broadcom, Oracle, and Palantir led tech losses, sliding between roughly 3.6% and 6.5% as investors locked in gains, while Disney plunged 7.8% after mixed fourth-quarter results that beat on earnings but missed on revenue and amplified weakness across communication services. The repricing of rates removed some of the incentive to chase richly valued growth names and turned profit-taking into a broader market decline.

US stocks give back some of the rally sparked by Trump's talk of negotiations with Iran

On Tuesday, U.S. stock indexes saw a modest decline, pulling back some of the gains made on Monday following President Trump's comments on potential negotiations with Iran. The S&P 500 dipped 0.4%, the Dow Jones dropped 0.2%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.8%. Despite initial optimism sparked by Trump's announcement of "productive talks" with Iran, conflicting reports—such as Iran’s denial of direct talks and continued attacks—reintroduced market uncertainty. Oil prices rebounded sharply, with Brent crude rising 4.6% and U.S. crude up 4.8%, partially recovering from steep losses the previous day.

US stocks waver as oil prices climb amid Iran conflict

U.S. stock markets experienced volatility on Monday as rising oil prices added to investor uncertainty stemming from the ongoing war with Iran. The S&P 500 dipped 0.1%, the Dow Jones rose 0.3%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.5%. Brent crude prices surged 2.3% to $107.72 per barrel amid concerns over supply disruption, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, amid new combat involvement by Yemen's Houthi rebels.
