The numbers: The S&P 500 fell 0.47% (-36.41 points) to 7,765.36 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.25% (-345.35 points) to 27,193.34, both posting a second straight loss after hitting record highs earlier in the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average bucked the trend, edging up 0.10% (+51.77 points) to 51,231.64. The small-cap Russell 2000 finished roughly flat (+0.03%).
The driver – an AI revenue scare: Tech sold off after a Financial Times report said OpenAI's annualized revenue is about $50 billion, roughly $20 billion below previously reported figures. Investors read it as a warning sign for the AI demand story that underpins massive data-center spending, hitting chipmakers hardest.
Oil and yields: WTI crude jumped 3.6% to $91.49 a barrel on media reports that the administration was weighing large-scale military action against Iran; prices came off their highs after President Trump posted that the U.S. would not attack Iran before the midterm elections. Treasury yields eased but stayed near multi-year highs — the 10-year fell 5 basis points to 5.227%, while the 30-year touched a fresh 24-year intraday peak before closing at 5.60%.
Notable movers: Nvidia (-2.9%), AMD (-3.9%) and Micron (-4.8%) led the chip retreat. Chipotle (+6.1%) was among the S&P 500's best performers on an FT report that Starbucks is considering buying the burrito chain. PepsiCo (+3.7%) rose after fiscal third-quarter EPS of $2.34 and revenue of $25.3 billion (+5.6%), despite trimming its full-year earnings-growth outlook. Chevron (+3.1%) and Home Depot (+3.4%) helped keep the Dow positive.

하락 요인: OpenAI의 연환산 매출이 기존 보도보다 약 200억 달러 적은 500억 달러 수준이라는 파이낸셜타임스 보도가 AI 수요 우려를 키우며 기술주 매도를 불렀습니다. 이란에 대한 군사작전 검토 보도로 WTI 유가가 3.6% 급등한 91.49달러를 기록했고, 10년물 국채금리는 5.227%로 소폭 내렸지만 여전히 높은 수준입니다.
