Markets are retreating modestly amid rising volatility, with energy and healthcare providing some support while technology and industrials lag. MGM Resorts' sharp drop following the withdrawn takeover offer adds to the cautious mood, even as family offices show increased confidence in stocks and private equity despite inflation concerns.
