U.S. waives Iran oil sanctions for 60 days; megacap tech rotation drags S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower

Summary
Oil prices fell below $80 after the U.S. waived Iranian oil sanctions for 60 days following initial nuclear talks, potentially bringing more Iranian crude to global markets. Iranian President Pezeshkian is traveling to Pakistan for further discussions, and U.S. VP JD Vance reported "great progress" including Iran's agreement to allow IAEA inspectors to monitor nuclear activities. Despite this geopolitical progress, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq declined due to a rotation out of megacap technology stocks, which offset positive news from the sanctions waiver.
