US stocks: A 922-point Dow tug-of-war masks broader Wall Street gains

An intraday 922-point two-stock tug-of-war inside the Dow masked a firmer U.S. close on Tuesday. Goldman added an estimated 477 points while IBM subtracted 445, yet preliminary data put the Dow’s net gain at only 28.92 points. The headline index barely moved; its largest drivers did.

Nasdaq futures jump on soft U.S. CPI, but energy math clouds the relief

U.S. inflation’s biggest monthly drop since April 2020 lifted Nasdaq futures on Tuesday, but the detail was less benign: energy subtracted 0.437 percentage point from June consumer prices, more than the reported 0.4% fall, while prices outside energy added 0.015 point. The headline overstated the breadth of relief.

US stocks edge lower as chip stocks slip after Samsung warning

U.S. stocks closed lower Tuesday, dragged by a 4.4% slide in the PHLX semiconductor index that weighed on both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Most S&P 500 sectors actually rose, and advancers outpaced decliners by 1.4-to-1 within the benchmark index. The session had the feel of a rotation out of AI names rather than a broad drop for equities.
