  "account": "The S&P 500 closed lower on Wednesday, down 0.75% to 7,706.05 points, as Treasury yields climbed and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran would not yield to US pressure. Oil prices surged almost 4% after Iran's speech at the UN, following US President Donald Trump's threat to \"annihilate\" Iran. The S&P 500's earnings expectations rose due to AI heavyweights, while its valuation dropped to its lowest since 2023. Fed Governor Michael Barr indicated potential further rate hikes to combat inflation above the Fed's 2% target. The Nasdaq recorded record-high closes the previous two days, bolstering optimism about AI-related companies.",
  "summary": "Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes declined, led lower by utilities, down 1.72%, followed by a 1.49% loss in communication services.",
