  • Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Poised to Open Lower Amid Tech Selloff and Geopolitical Concerns
    May 21, 2026, 11:06 PM EDT. Markets edged lower Thursday ahead of the open as a tech sector selloff combined with inflation worries and an ongoing U.S.-Iran standoff dampened investor sentiment. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), a key measure of expected stock market turbulence based on S&P 500 options, rose 0.3 points, signaling increased anxiety among traders. Major indexes including the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq were set to open down. Key movers included tech giants Nvidia, Intel, and Micron, alongside automotive leader Ford, reflecting sector-specific pressures amid broader economic uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions and inflation fears continued to overshadow hopes linked to developments involving former President Trump and Iran, reinforcing a cautious market atmosphere.
