U.S. equities ended mixed as investors rotated out of large-cap ‎technology shares while selective buying in industrial and value-‎oriented names supported the blue-chip index.

European equities ended slightly lower as cautious sentiment ‎prevailed amid limited macro catalysts and subdued sector ‎performance, with weakness in exporters and cyclical names ‎offsetting pockets of resilience in financials and select defensives. ‎Broader regional participation remained restrained, reflecting a ‎lack of strong directional drivers. The FTSE 100 fell -0.3%, the ‎DAX slipped -0.1%, the EURO STOXX 600 declined -0.1%, ‎while the CAC 40 gained 0.1%.‎
