The stock market experienced a downturn today, with the Dow falling 100 points largely due to a fresh plunge in UnitedHealth’s stock. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also retreated as the rally faded. Retail sales data and earnings reports from companies like Walmart were in focus, contributing to the decline in stock market futures. Wall Street edged lower as the trade truce rally ebbed, with UnitedHealth’s fall being a notable factor. The Dow’s retreat followed inflation and retail sales reports.
