Market Wrap International:

U.S. equities ended mixed as continued strength in artificial intelligence-linked technology shares and resilient earnings supported sentiment, while higher Treasury yields and renewed Middle East tensions kept investors cautious. Major benchmarks remained near record highs, with semiconductor and large-cap technology stocks continuing to outperform. European markets weakened as investors assessed higher bond yields, energy price movements, and geopolitical risks, with industrials and financials lagging while defensive sectors provided limited support. In Asia, major markets traded with a firmer tone as technology and semiconductor shares benefited from positive global AI sentiment, although currency pressures and cautious regional risk appetite limited broader gains.
