Market Wrap International:

U.S. equities ended lower as weakness in big technology and ‎software names pressured major benchmarks following a retreat ‎in tech shares and broader investor caution. Tech sector ‎underperformance, led by declines in key AI-linked stocks, ‎weighed on sentiment alongside a rebound in safe-haven metals ‎that reflected risk aversion. The S&P 500 fell ‎‏-‏‎0.8%, the Dow ‎Jones declined ‎‏-‏‎0.3%, and the NASDAQ slipped ‎‏-‏‎1.4%.‎

European equities ended slightly softer on mixed cues from ‎global markets with limited domestic macro catalysts and follow-‎through from U.S. losses tempering sentiment; broader indices ‎showed modest divergences as value-oriented sectors ‎outperformed defensives. The FTSE 100 eased ‎‏-‏‎0.3%, the DAX ‎edged ‎‏-‏‎0.1%, the CAC dipped ‎‏-‏‎0.02%, while the EURO STOXX ‎‎600 marginally rose 0.1% on headline-level trading. ‎
