US Stocks Mixed as Iran-War Uncertainty Lifts Oil Prices

The S&P 500 slipped as Brent crude rose 1.7% to $107.09 a barrel, with traders watching the Strait of Hormuz and Fed policy.

  • The U.S. stock market's record-breaking rally slowed on Monday amid rising uncertainty about the Iran war, while oil prices climbed higher.
  • Tankers find the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, pushing crude prices up more than 1.5% as supplies remain trapped in the Middle East.
  • Iran offered to reopen the strait if the United States ends its blockade, though President Donald Trump appears unlikely to accept the proposal conveyed through Pakistan.
  • Investors now focus on Wednesday's Federal Reserve rate decision and earnings reports from tech giants Apple, Amazon, and Meta Platforms scheduled this week.
  • Rising oil prices and potential tariff impacts threaten to worsen inflation even as average U.S. gasoline prices reached $4.11 per gallon on Monday.
