📝 Summary

The US stock market closed with a mixed tone, as the S&P 500 slipped 0.11% while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.35%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.56% as the materials, technology, and real estate sectors outperformed, led by gains in companies like 3M and Intel, while the financial, consumer staples, and healthcare sectors lagged.

The mixed performance was partly attributed to the rising oil prices, with crude opening higher amid hopes of a US-Iran ceasefire, which weighed on energy stocks like NetApp and Snowflake.
