<\/div>\n

Wall Street closed mixed on Wednesday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached another record high, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite traded little changed as investors paused after a powerful AI-driven rally and monitored developments surrounding Middle East tensions.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 189 points, or 0.37%, to close at 50,650.76, marking a fresh record close. <\/p>\n

The S&P 500 edged up 0.02% to finish at 7,520.93, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.08% to close at 26,676.60.<\/p>\n

The session reflected a rotation away from high-flying semiconductor stocks and toward healthcare and consumer companies as investors reassessed valuations following recent gains in AI-related shares.<\/p>\n

Dow gains as healthcare and consumer stocks rally<\/h2>\n

The Dow outperformed broader indexes as investors rotated into more defensive sectors, including healthcare and consumer discretionary stocks.<\/p>\n

Consumer discretionary shares led gains among S&P 500 sectors, while companies such as Procter & Gamble helped support the blue-chip index.<\/p>\n

Energy stocks, however, moved lower after oil prices dropped sharply during the session. <\/p>\n

US crude oil fell about 5% to near $88 per barrel after Iranian state media reportedly said Tehran remained committed to restoring commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz within one month.<\/p>\n

The White House later denied the report, calling it a \u201ccomplete fabrication.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investors continued watching geopolitical developments involving Iran closely after recent tensions surrounding US military activity near the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase shares declined roughly 2% after CEO Jamie Dimon warned that company expenses could rise by as much as $1 billion above earlier estimates. <\/p>\n

Dimon also said the bank could potentially spend up to $20 billion on an acquisition \u201cin the next couple years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chip stocks lose momentum after AI-driven surge<\/h2>\n

Technology and semiconductor shares paused following a powerful rally that recently pushed several indexes to record highs.<\/p>\n

Chip stocks broadly weakened on Wednesday, weighing on the Nasdaq and limiting gains for the S&P 500.<\/p>\n

Micron Technology, which surged more than 19% Tuesday to surpass a $1 trillion market capitalization for the first time, traded modestly higher but pulled back from session highs.<\/p>\n

Other semiconductor stocks, including Intel, Qualcomm, and Marvell Technology, declined during the session.Nvidia also weakened<\/a>, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index retreated after hitting a record high on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Investors await inflation data and Fed signals<\/h2>\n

Markets are now turning attention toward Thursday\u2019s release of the personal consumption expenditures index, the Federal Reserve\u2019s preferred inflation measure.<\/p>\n

The data could provide further clues about the outlook for monetary policy under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.<\/p>\n

At the same time, optimism surrounding corporate earnings remained supportive for equities. <\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs raised its 2026 year-end forecast for the S&P 500 to 8,000 from 7,600, citing continued strength in corporate earnings growth.<\/p>\n
