U.S.-Iran tensions flare as Pentagon reports new strikes; Bitcoin slips 2.03%, Wall Street ends mixed
AI Market Summary
Escalating U.S.-Iran military tensions, including additional U.S. strikes and Iran's threatened retaliation, increased geopolitical risk and prompted a risk-off move, with BTC falling 2.03% intraday. U.S. equities were mixed (Dow -1.09%, S&P -0.28%, Nasdaq +0.2%), suggesting uneven risk appetite as investors weighed conflict headlines against megacap strength.
