  • Dow Surpasses 52,000 Amid Tech Sell-Off; S&P 500 and Nasdaq Decline
    June 16, 2026, 4:31 PM EDT. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 52,000 for the first time on Tuesday, rising 0.64% to 52,003.34, supported by gains in financials and industrials. In contrast, the S&P 500 slipped 0.41% to 7,523.07, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.86% to 26,455.00, pressured by a rotation out of technology and chip stocks. Investors cautiously digested Monday's rally amid hopes for a U.S.-Iran deal that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a 5.1% drop in oil prices. The market awaits Wednesday's Federal Reserve decision on interest rates, with expectations to hold rates between 3.50% and 3.75%. Wells Fargo raised its year-end S&P 500 target, citing improving earnings and easing macro risks, though inflation and crowded tech bets remain concerns.
