US stocks closed lower on Tuesday with the S&P 500 losing 0.3%, the Nasdaq 100 falling 0.3%, and the Dow decreasing 184 points.

Crude oil prices were slightly higher amid conflicting signals over developments in the Middle East, paring earlier losses after Iran reiterated that it would keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until its demands are met.

Treasury yields eased, but credit-sensitive hyperscalers declined, with Alphabet down 3.8%, Oracle losing 3.7%, Amazon shedding 2.1%, and SpaceX falling 3.9%.

Intel (+0.2%) rose its planned stock offering by $5 billion to $20 billion.

Nvidia (-0%) reportedly secured $500 billion in private financing from banks for AI infrastructure, increasing leverage across the sector.

Investors now await Wednesday's CPI report after several FOMC members signaled a possible rate hike next month.

SMCI (+0.4%) and CoreWeave (+2.4%) are scheduled to report after the bell.

The consumer price index report is due later today, followed by producer inflation data on Thursday. Markets remain divided over whether the Fed will raise rates by 25 basis points in September after keeping them unchanged in July, with rising oil prices reinforcing expectations for a more hawkish stance. In corporate news, CoreWeave surged more than 14% in extended trading after the artificial intelligence spending boom lifted the company’s sales outlook. Super Micro Computer also jumped more than 7% after the data center infrastructure provider issued upbeat guidance for first-quarter earnings and revenue.
