US stock futures were flat as investors awaited economic data and earnings reports. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reached new record highs in the previous session, contrasting with the Dow’s decline.
- The Dow lost 0.48%.
- Apple shares dragged down the Dow after their new product launch disappointed investors.
The decrease indicates a mixed market performance, where strength in some sectors and companies does not guarantee overall market gains. Individual company performance, particularly that of major players like Apple, can significantly influence specific indices like the Dow Jones.
