US Stocks Open Lower; Dow Down 0.18%, S&P 500 Off 0.11%, Nasdaq Sheds 0.13%

The headline index moves are marginal, so the real signal sits in the dispersion beneath them: a modest gain in Meta alongside a decline in SK Hynix, and a double-digit jump in IonQ that stands out sharply against a soft tape. That kind of single-name divergence suggests stock-specific catalysts are driving flows rather than broad macro sentiment. Whether IonQ's move holds through the session, or fades like a headline-driven spike, is the open question worth watching.
