The escalation of the Middle East conflict and the market's digestion of the decisions by the US and European central banks to keep interest rates intact weighed down on US bourse Thursday. The DJIA settled down 203 points or 0.4%, at 46,021. The Nasdaq closed down 61 points or 0.3%, at 22,090. The S&P 500 ended down 18 points or 0.3%, at 6,606.

Micron (MU.US) retreated by 3.8% after announcing quarterly results, with 2FQ profits beating. BABA-W (09988.HK) (BABA.US) reported a 67% slump in non-GAAP net profit for 3FQ, way worse than forecast, and its US ADR closed down 7.1%.

Major techs waned broadly, with Tesla (TSLA.US) down 3.2% as its FSD system faced an upgraded investigation in the US. NVIDIA (NVDA.US) and Meta (META.US) fell about 1%, while Amazon (AMZN.US) and Apple (AAPL.US) declined by less than 1%.
