Micron rally caps a mixed session as Apple drags Big Tech

U.S. stocks finished mixed: the Dow rose about 0.1% as Micron’s blowout results sent MU up more than 15%, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 slipped as Apple fell about 6% on memory-cost driven price hikes for tech hardware; Qualcomm rallied on AI data-center plans, oil held near multi-year highs amid Iran-related tensions, and fresh PCE inflation data kept the Fed rate-hike outlook in play.
