📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
Wall Street closed lower Tuesday as fading hopes for a US-Iran deal and climbing oil prices rattled sentiment. The S&P 500 slipped 0.32% to 7,728.20, the Nasdaq fell 0.60% to 26,445.45, and the Dow eased 0.34% to 53,791.85. Notably, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index bucked the trend, gaining 0.87% to 12,098.47 — a constructive signal for chip sentiment heading into Asian trade. VIX ticked down 1.16% to 15.28, suggesting hedging demand stayed modest despite the geopolitical noise. Home Depot, AMD, Chevron, AbbVie and Meta led gainers, while Alphabet (-3.8%), Oracle (-3.7%) and Adobe (-3.4%) dragged the megacap complex lower.
■ Flows & Breadth
Breadth was dead even among large caps — 20 advancers versus 20 decliners — despite the Nasdaq’s sharper 0.60% decline, hinting the drop was concentrated in a handful of heavyweight tech names rather than broad selling. USD/KRW rose 0.38% to 1,412.39, reflecting some dollar firmness amid the risk-off tone.
■ Takeaway
Headline indices sagged on oil-driven jitters, but flat breadth and a firmer SOX suggest underlying resilience beneath megacap tech weakness. 📊
