Dow holds flat but Nasdaq slips as traders brace for more turmoil

AI Summary

Wall Street stocks saw mixed results as market uncertainty stemmed from the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict and potential US involvement. While the Dow Jones edged up 0.1% to 42,206.82, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite fell 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively. Concerns arose from President Trump's skepticism about European intervention and a report suggesting the US might restrict some companies' access to technology in China. However, the Commerce Department clarified that chipmakers could still operate in China. Market anxiety also reflected investor caution ahead of the weekend.
