Dow falls as Amgen drop weighs on healthcare and oil gains fade

Brent crude rose after Houthi attacks before oil’s gains eased.

Reported · Written up by our desk · Indices

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Dow fell in a session where health-care stocks turned weaker following a decline in Amgen.

Amgen’s drop weighed on the broader healthcare sector, dragging sentiment across the group.

Oil traded higher earlier in the day after Houthi attacks, with Brent crude climbing before the gains pared back.

The combination of weakness in health care and shifting energy prices shaped the day’s moves.
