US Equity Indexes Mixed as Big-Tech Marches Higher, Trump Engineers Halt to Iran-Israel's Exchange of Strikes
Jun 8, 2026 1:11 PM

03:57 PM EDT, 06/08/2026 (MT Newswires) -- US equity indexes traded mixed as technology topped sector charts, while President Donald Trump's efforts to halt strikes between Iran and Israel helped crude oil retreat from intraday highs.

The Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.9% to 25,937.1, with the S&P 500 up 0.4% to 7,409.9, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1% to 50,804.5 ahead of Monday's close.

Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google ( GOOG ) and Nvidia ( NVDA ) have turned to Intel ( INTC ) as their backup manufacturer of the most advanced processors, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ( TSM ) struggles to meet demand, The Information reported Monday, citing four people with direct knowledge of discussions. Intel ( INTC ) jumped 10%, one of the top gainers in the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.

Cantor Fitzgerald adjusted its price target for Micron Technology ( MU ) to $1,500 from $700 while maintaining its overweight rating. Wells Fargo tuned its price objective for Micron to $1,220 from $550 and kept its overweight rating. Shares of Micron were up 8.9%, making it one of the biggest outperformers in the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.

Israel and Iran are "looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE," CNN cited President Donald Trump as saying, after an overnight exchange of strikes between the two warring countries risked the fragile April truce brokered by the US.

"Final negotiations on 'Peace' are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way," Trump said on Truth Social. "The Blockade will remain in place, and in full force and effect, until a 'Final Deal' is reached. Things should move quickly."

Israel has halted attacks on Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, stopping short of acknowledging a ceasefire, CNN reported. Iran has also suspended its operations against Israel, but warned it would resume if strikes in southern Lebanon continue, the news report added.

West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures rose 1% to $91.47, and Brent crude futures climbed 1.4% to $94.41. Earlier in the session, crude oil futures were up more than 4% each amid reports of an overnight escalation between Iran and Israel.
