Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq fall as chip stocks sink, US unveils new Iran sanctions
Live updates
Live updates
US stocks closed mixed on Monday as semiconductor stocks fell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced "Operation Economic Outcast" — a series of expanded sanctions aimed at squeezing Iran.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) declined by about 0.3%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) dropped roughly 0.8%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose by 0.3% as the lone index in the green after the major indexes posted weekly declines.
Investors rotated out of tech names as semiconductor stocks came under pressure. Sandisk (SNDK), Micron (MU), and other memory chip stocks dropped following a report over the weekend that Nvidia (NVDA) plans to raise prices for some of its AI servers.
Stocks were little changed, however, after Bessent outlined a plan to "sever every economic lifeline" to Iran and isolate the nation. In a press conference on Monday afternoon, Bessent detailed expanded sanctions on Iran and on any country that deals economically with it, stating that countries with ties to the regime will be "removed from the US dollar system."

No B.S. Just Charts. Gareth
#Soloway breaks down the full case for gold heading toward roughly $13,000, walking the technicals and the fundamentals side by side to show why this bull market is far from finished.
Gareth starts on the spot gold chart, where a powerful wedge breakout has pushed price into near-term resistance. He explains why a short-term pullback is likely even while the bigger trend points higher. From there he flips to the monthly logarithmic chart and lays out three separate trend lines, drawn off decades of pivots, that all converge on the same zone: roughly $11,000 to $13,000 in the 2029 to 2031 window. That kind of technical confluence, lining up with the fundamentals, is exactly what Gareth looks for in a high-probability read.
Then Gareth opens the free gold calculator on VerifiedInvesting.com and walks through the four forces driving his projection: the pace of U.S. debt issuance, global money supply growth, rising fiat mistrust, and real interest rates drifting toward zero. He explains why global money supply, not the dollar index, is the real gauge for gold, and why every major fiat currency is sinking together. He adjusts the inputs live so viewers can watch the peak target shift, then shows how anyone can run their own numbers.
The gold calculator and the full institutional research report, "The Gold Clock Is Speeding Up," are free to everyone with a VerifiedInvesting.com account. No B.S., just data and charts.

Treasury could tap General Account to fund bond buybacks - CNBC
NEW YORK, Aug 24 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended lower on Monday, pulled down by technology stocks, as investors weighed fresh U.S. economic pressure against Iran and braced for a week that includes Nvidia earnings and a closely watched inflation report.
The Trump administration announced on Monday a possible expansion of sanctions on countries doing business with Iran as part of what it billed as an "economic D-Day," but stopped short of actually imposing penalties.
