IEX premarket price against the prior close.

Stocks fell as AI leaders urged a slowdown ahead of this week's Fed meeting.

Tone

The S&P 500 closed down 0.44 percent, the Nasdaq 100 lost 0.79 percent, the Dow 0.24 percent and the Russell 2000 0.35 percent. Premarket prices for the S&P 500, Dow and Russell 2000 are not in yet. The Nasdaq 100 is down 0.03 percent. The structure score is 40 out of 100, balanced: the longer trend is up, but the index sits near the low of its recent range.

Headlines frame this week's Federal Reserve meeting as a rate hike. The Nasdaq's drop came as AI leaders urged a slowdown and the 10-year yield touched 5 percent. Netflix rose 4 percent while the AI trade sold off, its capital going into shows rather than silicon. Chip stocks were the other drag, and Nvidia was the most covered company.
