Why Americas closed broadly down
Iran Truce

Dow fell after President Trump declared the Iran ceasefire “over,” escalating geopolitical risk and prompting a sell‑off.

Semiconductor Sell‑Off

U.S. markets dropped following heavy profit‑taking in chip and AI stocks, led by Samsung’s underwhelming earnings.

Rate‑Hike Odds

Equities declined as higher oil prices and tensions pushed U.S. 10‑year yields up and lifted odds of a September Fed rate hike.
