US Stock Market Live Updates: Wall Street ended lower on Tuesday as uncertainty around US-Iran negotiations rattled investor sentiment ahead of a looming ceasefire deadline, dampening hopes of a near-term diplomatic breakthrough.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 293 points, or 0.6%. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite also declined 0.6% each, extending their losses for a second straight session as risk appetite weakened.
The cautious mood followed reports that Vice President JD Vance’s planned trip for Iran talks was paused amid a lack of commitment from Tehran, casting fresh doubt over the progress of negotiations. The development comes just a day before the ceasefire deadline, with little clarity on whether an agreement will be reached in time.
US President Donald Trump struck a mixed tone, saying he still expects a “great deal” with Iran, while warning that Washington is prepared for military action if no agreement is finalised. He also accused Iran of violating the ceasefire multiple times, signalling rising tensions despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.
