22.06.202620:11:26UTC+00US Stocks Close Mixed Pressured by Megacaps

US stock indexes ended mixed on Monday as weakness in megacap technology names outweighed optimism about progress in restoring energy supplies from the Middle East. The S&P 500 slipped 0.4%, while the Nasdaq 100 declined 0.2%.

Alphabet fell 5.2% following reports that another senior AI researcher had departed for a rival, heightening worries about its competitive position in artificial intelligence. Other major tech names also retreated: Broadcom dropped 4.7%, Amazon 4.4%, Microsoft 3.2%, and Meta 2.7%. SpaceX sank 16.4% after unveiling a new bond sale.

By contrast, Micron climbed 6.8% after announcing a strategic partnership with Anthropic. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 148 points, supported in part by risk-on sentiment after Iran said recent talks with the US had made “significant progress,” with both sides aiming for a peace agreement within two months.

Energy prices extended their decline on expectations that supply from the Middle East will be restored, while persistent expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve, following last week’s policy meeting, continued to weigh on US Treasuries.
