[MARKET UPDATE]: Stocks see weakness, while oil and Dollar gain amid NYT reports that VP Vance’s diplomatic trip to Islamabad has been put on hold after Tehran failed to respond to American negotiating positions

This geopolitical tension likely contributes to weaker stock performance as investors seek safe-haven assets like the Dollar and oil, which typically rally in times of increased geopolitical risk.
