Meanwhile, Brent crude stayed under $100 per barrel following diplomatic updates from President Donald Trump regarding Iran and restored supplies from Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Investors are now awaiting September preliminary U.S. purchasing managers' index data from S&P Global.

DYAX 전담 분석
Following the launch of Meta's Muse AI, infrastructure-related stocks such as semiconductors benefited, while financial and travel service sectors faced downward pressure due to concerns over displacement by AI agents. Notably, the S&P 500 financial services sector fell 2%, with some stocks plunging over 6%.
Going forward, the pace of AI commercialization and the scale of large-scale infrastructure investments will be key indicators determining the direction of tech stocks overall. Stabilized energy prices resulting from recovering oil supplies are also expected to serve as additional upward momentum for the stock market.
