- S&P 500 struggled for direction as investors awaited a Mideast deal, with software stocks sliding in the session, per Reuters.
- Nasdaq slipped while Dow and S&P 500 futures inched up and Sandisk shares dropped sharply, as traders monitored Iran developments and earnings continued rolling in across sectors.
Why it matters: Markets were caught between geopolitical anxiety over a potential Mideast deal and an active earnings season, leaving major indexes mixed and software as a clear underperformer while individual stocks like Sandisk saw outsized moves.
