Tech Stocks Drive S&P 500 to Record High Amid Geopolitical Tensions
The S&P 500 surged to a new intraday record of 7,539.8, buoyed by a 0.9% rally in tech stocks, while the Nasdaq Composite followed suit. The Dow Jones Industrial Average bucked the trend, slipping 0.4% as markets reopened after Memorial Day. Micron Technology's 20% leap to a $1 trillion valuation underscored the sector's momentum, with UBS projecting further upside due to long-term supply agreements.
Geopolitical risks lingered as President Trump signaled progress in Iran talks but threatened military action if negotiations faltered. The U.S. confirmed defensive strikes on Iranian missile sites, maintaining what Central Command called 'restraint during ceasefire.' Market resilience prevailed—the S&P 500 extended its weekly winning streak, with the Dow posting three gains in four weeks.
