Wall Street's main indexes fell on Thursday as the market contended with uncertainties stemming from the U.S.-Iran conflict and mixed earnings reports that reignited concerns over AI-driven disruptions in the software sector.
Investors displayed resilience despite the war-related risks, yet the ongoing conflict and oil prices above $100 a barrel intensified fears of inflation, influencing market sentiment.
As the Dow and Nasdaq dropped, sectors like information technology suffered, while companies such as Tesla faced investor scrutiny over increased spending commitments. Texas Instruments' forecast uplifted investors, highlighting a mixed earnings season amid geopolitical challenges.
