On the 13th (local time), the New York stock market fell due to the re-escalation of the conflict between the United States and Iran and caution over investment in artificial intelligence (AI). Selling pressure was concentrated on semiconductor stocks, including SK Hynix American Depositary Stock (ADR). According to CNBC and Market Watch, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended trading at 52,498.64 on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on this day, down 138.37 points (0.26%) from the previous trading day. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index It closed at 7515.34, down 60.05 points (0.79%). The Nasdaq Composite Index, centered on technology stocks, closed at 25,873.18, down 408.43 points (1.55%). What put the strongest pressure on the market was the situation in the Middle East. As the conflict between the United States and Iran intensified again and U.S. President Donald Trump announced the resumption of a maritime blockade against Iran, concerns about disruption in crude oil supply increased. Wariness about AI-related stocks also increased. The decline in technology stocks widened as profits were realized, focusing on semiconductor and memory stocks that had recently soared.
