US markets ended mostly in red on Wednesday due to uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran peace deal amid disagreements between the two nations over a few key terms of the pact. The weakness that emerged on Wall Street, and especially in the tech-heavy NASDAQ, was the result of renewed selling among semiconductor stocks over artificial intelligence infrastructure concerns. Investors also looked ahead to key inflation data due to be released on June 25. 

On the economic front, data from the Commerce Department showed sales of new single-family homes in the US tumbled 7.3% month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 580 thousand in May 2026, the lowest in four months, following an upwardly revised 626 thousand in April and well below forecasts of 640 thousand. New home sales declined for a second month in a row, as higher mortgage rates weighed on buyers. Sales plunged 26.9% in the West (to 117 thousand) and fell 4.1% in the South (to 350 thousand). In contrast, sales rose 3% in the Northeast (to 34 thousand) and soared 16.2% in the Midwest (to 79 thousand).  

Nasdaq decreased 110.40 points or 0.43 percent to 25,476.63 and S&P 500 was down 7.24 points or 0.1 percent to 7,358.22, while Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 182.06 points or 0.35 percent to 51,848.9.
