Wall Street started July on a cautious note. Most U.S. stocks rose, but weakness in major technology and AI-related names pulled the indexes lower. The S&P 500 fell 0.2%, the Dow slipped less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq dropped 0.7%. Micron, AMD, and Nvidia were among the tech names weighing on the market.
The broader market received some support from falling bond yields after weaker manufacturing data suggested inflation pressures may be easing. Oil also declined, with Brent crude down 1.9% to $71.57, as optimism grew around a possible resolution to U.S.-Iran tensions.
For Canadian investors, July 1 was also Canada Day — a good reminder that successful investing is not about watching every tick. Sometimes the best move is to step away from the screen, enjoy the summer, and let long-term discipline do its work.
