- Nasdaq rose to start the week on peace hopes, with chipmakers gaining broadly and Lumentum rallying as the session's standout mover.
- Oil prices climbed as Trump warned Iran 'will pay' for killing soldiers, while the Dow and S&P 500 slipped, leaving the three major indexes mixed.
- The session sets up a pivotal week of Big Tech earnings that loom over sentiment, per Yahoo Finance's framing.
Why it matters: The split tape — Nasdaq up, Dow and S&P 500 down, oil rising — shows investors are pricing geopolitical risk into energy while still chasing tech, and Big Tech earnings this week will determine whether the peace-hope bid in chips holds or fades.
