US Equity Indexes Mixed in Midday Trading as Tech Takes Beating
Jun 4, 2026 10:08 AM

12:57 PM EDT, 06/04/2026 (MT Newswires) -- US equity indexes were mixed in midday trading on Thursday amid a decline in technology shares, government bond yields, and crude oil futures.

The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.3% to 26,778.1 in Thursday's midday trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1.7% to 51,530.2, and the S&P 500 rose 0.2% to 7,569.5.

All sectors but technology and utilities rose, with healthcare, financials, and communications services topping the gainers.

Broadcom ( AVGO ) shares sank 14%, among the worst performers on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.

Hezbollah on Thursday rejected the latest ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Lebanese government, demanding a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon as more fighting there hampered efforts to end the Iran war, the Associated Press reported. This comes as the House on Wednesday approved a war powers resolution that would halt US military action against Iran, according to a separate Associated Press report.

If the resolution were to pass in the Senate, where 50 of 100 senators have appeared to support it, US President Donald Trump would be required to either withdraw troops from Iran or gain approval from Congress for the war, according to an analysis from CNN. The White House, which has signaled it believes the underlying law is unconstitutional, could try to ignore the resolution, per CNN.

Brent crude futures dropped 3% to $94.81, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures fell 3.5% to $92.67.
