- Dow Jones rose while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were dragged lower by weakness in chip and tech stocks, with Treasury yields and oil prices also falling as investors eyed the upcoming Fed decision and big tech earnings (MarketWatch).
- Chip stocks continued to tumble, pulling the S&P 500 down despite an Iran fighting pause, according to CNBC's live coverage.
