Technology and basic materials stocks experienced losses, with energy and communication services seeing the most significant gains. Oracle's stock dropped almost 5% following reports of a force majeure declaration related to a New Mexico data center project, causing concern among investors about potential delays. Meta Platforms gained after introducing Meta VR glasses and a new handheld device compatible with the recently launched Muse AI agent. Meanwhile, United Parcel Service saw a decline after an analyst downgraded the company.",
