The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.3%, largely due to a 22.4% plunge in UnitedHealth ($UNH) shares following a disappointing earnings report. This marked UnitedHealth’s worst performance since 1998. In contrast, the S&P 500 edged up 0.1%, and the Nasdaq dipped 0.1%, with gains in most sectors offset by declines in major stocks like Nvidia.
