Oil prices fell as markets steadied. Coverage from Reuters, Yahoo Finance, the WSJ, and The Detroit News emphasizes that the "chip trade" is helping investors ignore geopolitical instability.
Reports highlight a tension between Middle East jitters and the strength of AI-related stocks. Market activity continues to fluctuate around an "on-again, off-again" US-Iran truce and the ongoing performance of the semiconductor sector.
