        "summary": "Wall Street ended the trading session on Tuesday with mixed results, as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices declined due to pressures on technology stocks, rising US inflation, and market worries over the Iran conflict potentially spiking energy prices and reducing chances of Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a slight gain, supported by strength in healthcare and consumer staples sectors, while investors shift focus from stock rallies to upcoming first-quarter earnings and the Fed's interest rate direction. Despite the pullback, major indices remain near all-time highs, buoyed by year-to-date gains in semiconductors driven by AI optimism, though recent consumer price data exceeded expectations, heightening economic concerns.",
        "content": "<p>NEW YORK, KOMPAS.com - The United States (US) stock market or Wall\nStreet closed mixed on Tuesday (12\/5\/2026) US time. The Nasdaq and\nS&amp;P 500 indices weakened due to pressure on technology stocks,\nrising US inflation, and market concerns over the Iran conflict that\ncould trigger a surge in energy prices and reduce the chances of a\nFederal Reserve rate cut this year. This situation has led market\nparticipants to set aside stock market rallies and shift focus to the\nfirst-quarter earnings season as well as the direction of US central\nbank or Federal Reserve interest rate policies. Citing Reuters on\nWednesday (13\/5\/2026), the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 56.09\npoints or 0.11 percent at 49,760.56. Of the 11 major sectors in the\nS&amp;P 500 index, the non-essential consumer goods and technology\nsectors recorded the deepest declines. In contrast, the healthcare and\nessential consumer goods sectors provided support for market gains. The\nweakening of technology stocks became the main factor dragging the\nNasdaq into negative territory. On the other hand, the strengthening of\nhealthcare sector stocks, supported by a surge in Humana shares, helped\nkeep the Dow Jones in positive territory. Although under pressure, the\nS&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq indices are still near all-time highs. However,\nas the earnings season ends, investors are beginning to shift attention\nto market valuations, macroeconomic conditions, and global geopolitical\ndevelopments. The PHLX Semiconductor Index did fall 3 percent in this\ntrading session. However, year to date, the index has still surged 65.4\npercent, driven by market optimism towards developments in artificial\nintelligence (AI) technology. \u201cOur prediction is for the market to\nstabilise because greed occurs during the earnings season and fear\nafterwards,\u201d said Jay Hatfield, CEO and Portfolio Manager of InfraCap in\nNew York. From an economic perspective, the latest data shows that US\nconsumer prices rose faster than analysts\u2019 expectations last month.<\/p>",
