The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 72.27 points to 48,463.72 in the U.S. stock market on April 15, marking its first decline in three sessions. President Donald Trump indicated that the conflict with Iran was winding down. While the Dow briefly entered positive territory following the news, profit-taking in blue chips weighed on the index. The Nasdaq Composite Index and the S&P 500 both hit record highs.

Caterpillar , JPMorgan Chase , and Sherwin-Williams declined, while Corning and CVS Health sagged. Carrier Global and Live Nation Entertainment fell sharply. Conversely, Salesforce and Nike drew buyers, while Bank of America and Morgan Stanley performed well. American Eagle Outfitters and Hims & Hers Health surged.

The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 376.93 points to 24,016.01, extending its winning streak to an 11th straight session. Microsoft and Broadcom advanced, while Tesla jumped. GitLab and Allbirds soared. In contrast, Amazon was soft, SanDisk slumped, and TeraWulf dipped.
