Tuesday’s close, covered into Wednesday’s desk: the Nasdaq Composite rose about 0.45% to a record 27,244.28 while the S&P 500 finished roughly flat near 7,764.64 and the Dow slipped about 0.36% to 51,863.69, according to major-market wraps that fed Sul Sul’s morning Markets file.

Wealth-manager names were hit as traders fretted about Meta’s Muse AI tools disrupting advice workflows — with Charles Schwab among the hardest-hit large financials in that session’s telling (~6% declines cited across secondary desks). Oil eased after President Trump described a U.S.–Iran meeting on the UN sidelines as “very good.”

This file remains in the Markets pack as Tuesday close context ahead of Wednesday’s broader selloff. Not investment advice.
