Market Wrap International:

U.S. equities ended lower as major benchmarks retreated amid ‎renewed selling in technology names and caution ahead of policy ‎developments and earnings. Persistent profit-taking in big tech ‎weighed on risk sentiment, contributing to broader weakness in ‎growth sectors, while investors also digested macro news and ‎geopolitical spill-overs from overseas markets. The S&P 500 ‎declined -0.4%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped -0.4%, ‎and the NASDAQ Composite fell -0.9%, reflecting broad market ‎pressure led by tech and growth stocks.‎

European equities ended higher as broad risk appetite stabilized ‎after a cautious start, with gains across major markets supported ‎by firm corporate news and constructive macro signals that ‎helped buoy regional sentiment. The FTSE 100 rose 0.5%, the ‎DAX increased 0.9%, the CAC 40 advanced 0.7%, and the ‎EURO STOXX 600 climbed 0.6%, with financials and cyclicals ‎participating in the advance.‎

 

Asian markets are trading mixed with Chinese and Hong Kong ‎shares under pressure on profit-taking and spill-over from U.S. ‎volatility, while other regional markets show relative resilience. ‎The SHCOMP is down -1.0% and the Hang Seng has slid -2.1% ‎as investors book gains after recent rallies, the KOSPI is modestly ‎up 0.1%, the Nikkei 225 is slightly lower at -0.1%, and broader ‎Asia sees uneven sector performance.‎
