US EQUITY OPEN: Indices mixed as NDX is higher, but RUT lags as Middle East war continues to dominate
Context
The mixed performance of US indices, with the Nasdaq 100 gaining as the Russell 2000 lags, reflects market uncertainty amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This divergence suggests that tech stocks may be seen as safe havens or beneficiaries of current conditions, while smaller caps could be more sensitive to broader market risks. Overall, traders should remain cautious as geopolitical developments continue to influence sentiment and sector performance.
