Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq waver after record-setting session

US stocks barely budged on Tuesday after a record-setting start to the week, as investors assessed a remarkable run-up in chip stocks in the first half of the year and the dollar's growing strength.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 0.1% after the blue-chip benchmark closed above 52,000 for the first time on Monday. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also nudged about 0.1% higher after a rally in tech stocks fueled sharp gains.

Investors are heading into the last trading day of the second quarter and first half of 2026 buoyed by a Supreme Court ruling that left Federal Reserve independence intact, for now, and by the prospect of potential US-Iran peace talks in Qatar starting Tuesday.

At the same time, oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz are recovering faster than expected, prompting a shift from fears of crude shortages to warnings of a looming glut. Oil prices continued to fall, poised for a quarterly drop with Brent (BZ=F) futures trading at $74 a barrel and WTI futures (CL=F) above $71.

The relentless rise in the dollar was also worrying Wall Street, as it pushed the yen to a 40-year low, prompting talk of intervention by Japan. HS
