U.S. equities fell sharply, with the S&P 500 down 1.62% to 7,266.99, the Nasdaq Composite down 1.98% to 25,169.50, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 1.87% to 49,918.78. The selloff was driven by May inflation figures and rising Middle East tensions, both of which pressured risk assets and pushed sentiment toward defensive positioning. The move reflects a broad market-wide reaction rather than a stock-specific catalyst.
