Closing Brief
Aug 11 · 4:30 PM EDT
Markets saw modest declines in major indices while small caps edged higher amid a backdrop of fading US-Iran peace optimism. Notable earnings beats from LITE, CAH, and SMCI provided some support, though the megacap portfolio remains behind the broader market this month.
