Market uncertainty surrounding US-Iran ceasefire talks and ongoing Middle East concerns were cited as factors offsetting earlier earnings optimism.
Investors are currently evaluating the prospects for peace in the region amidst these developments. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
