Nasdaq climbs to fresh all-time high; S&P 500 is little changed as traders monitor Middle East tensions: Live updates

The Nasdaq reached a record high driven by Alphabet gains and renewed AI interest, though the S&P 500 and Dow remained largely flat. Tech stocks rose on enthusiasm for AI, including Meta's Muse AI agent, which also boosted Korean chip stocks. While the AI trade provided momentum, the rally faced pressure from higher bond yields and oil prices. Some reports link the Nasdaq peak to falling oil prices below $100 and hopes for talks with Iran, while stock futures showed little movement following a strong session for the S&P 500.

Some reports link the Nasdaq peak to falling oil prices below $100 and hopes for talks with Iran, while stock futures showed little movement following a strong session for the S&P 500.
