Share:

Markets are mixed at midday with sector leadership in utilities, energy, and technology contrasting with weakness in consumer staples, financials, and healthcare amid rising fear and geopolitical tensions from Middle East disruptions and new UK sanctions on Israel. The rise in oil and gold alongside an uptick in volatility reflects cautious investor sentiment despite a flat Nasdaq and Russell 2000.
