- S&P 500 futures were little changed while Nasdaq futures dropped in the session, per CNBC's live updates, with traders monitoring developments related to Iran.
- Sandisk shares fell as chip and software weakness offset broader market gains, leaving the S&P 500 flat, according to The Detroit News.
- Nasdaq edged higher despite lingering AI anxiety, per WSJ's live market coverage — a contrast with the earlier futures drop highlighted by CNBC.
Why it matters: The divergence between Nasdaq futures (dropping pre-market) and the cash Nasdaq closing higher suggests intraday recovery driven by non-tech sectors, while Sandisk's slide and chip/software weakness point to ongoing AI-trade fatigue that traders are parsing alongside geopolitical Iran signals.
