U.S. stocks ended a morning rally on Monday as continued instability in the artificial intelligence and technology sectors countered broader market gains. While index futures initially jumped and some shares recovered from a previous weekly sell-off, fears regarding AI persisted. This volatility coincided with a significant drop in oil prices, which fell about 6% due to developments involving Iran.
