SPY takes the lead as QQQ's early edge fades, with trade data and Hormuz shipping risk in view
QQQ rose 0.48% and SPY rose 0.65%, leaving SPY ahead by 0.17 percentage points. QQQ had the stronger premarket rise, then lost relative ground during regular trading. The wider U.S. trade deficit, Google's nuclear-power deal and Marvell's targets, Hormuz shipping attacks, and India's overnight rate increase shaped the news backdrop.

What shaped the session
Trade and rates
The wider U.S. trade deficit was a premarket macro result, and India raised its policy rate overnight as inflation pressure persisted.
Middle East shipping
A Hormuz ship attack and a later U.S. condition for ending the Iran war kept regional security and oil-route risk in the review.
