- S&P 500 was muted as gains in industrials countered drag from tech, while US-Iran peace prospects rose, according to Reuters' headline.
- Wall Street drifted near its all-time high as oil prices kept swinging, while S&P 500 futures ticked higher with oil stabilizing and Nvidia posting gains (per CNBC, adn.com headlines).
Why it matters: Industrials are absorbing the selling pressure that would normally pull the index below its all-time high, so the sector rotation — not tech — is currently determining whether the S&P 500 breaks out or stalls. Oil-price swings tied to US-Iran diplomatic developments are adding a geopolitical risk premium that could reverse quickly if the peace prospects fade.
