Wall Street inched higher and oil prices stabilized early Friday as markets awaited the latest government jobs report while parsing corporate earnings reports amid the backdrop of an increasingly fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran.<\/p>\n

U.S. futures rose despite the latest flare up in the conflict. Futures for the S&P 500 gained 0.5%, while futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3%. Nasdaq futures jumped 0.7%.<\/p>\n

Investors are closely watching the war situation as negotiations between the U.S. and Iran to end the war make limited progress. Tehran says it is still examining the latest proposals from the U.S. for ending the war.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Central Command said Thursday that it intercepted \u201cunprovoked\u201d Iranian attacks on Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz, although no vessels were struck. U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters the ceasefire with Iran was still intact.<\/p>\n

The United Arab Emirates, a U.S. ally, said early Friday that its air defenses were \u201cactively engaging\u201d with a missile and drone attack.<\/p>\n

Oil traded modestly higher early Friday Friday after falling earlier. Brent crude, the international standard, gained 69 cents to $100.62 per barrel. Brent crude was roughly $70 a barrel before the Iran war began in late February.<\/p>\n

Benchmark U.S. crude inched up 20 cents to $95.01 a barrel.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Oil and fuel prices are expected to remain elevated for as long as the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for oil and gas transit, remains largely closed and a U.S. sea blockade on Iranian ports continues.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, investors and analysts continue to pore over companies\u2019 latest financial reports, which have been largely strong.<\/p>\n

Monster Beverage rose close to 8% after the energy drink maker reported that its sales and profit both soared more than 25% over the same period last year. The company posted quarterly sales of more than $2 billion for the first time, highlighting continued growth in global energy drink demand.<\/p>\n

Golf equipment maker Callaway climbed 8.3% after it beat Wall Street\u2019s sales and profit targets. Callaway, which sold a majority stake in its Topgolf business early this year, raised its full-year sales and profit guidance and said that golf consumers remain healthy.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

On the losing side was Expedia Group, whose shares slid 7.8% despite beating sales and profit targets. Investors may have been disappointed that the company did not raise its full-year forecast despite the strong first-quarter results.<\/p>\n

More data on the health of the U.S. economy comes later Friday when the government issues its April jobs report. Analysts are forecasting that the U.S. economy added 65,000 jobs last month, down from a surprisingly strong 178,000 in March.<\/p>\n

At midday in Europe, Britain\u2019s FTSE 100 fell 0.2%, while Germany\u2019s DAX and France\u2019s CAC 40 each dropped 0.8%.<\/p>\n

Tokyo\u2019s Nikkei 225 fell 0.2% to 62,713.65 after closing the day before at an all-time high. Energy and technology giant SoftBank Group lost 4.6% after soaring 18% on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea\u2019s Kospi edged 0.1% higher to 7,498.00, a record closing high, as gains for some tech shares offset wider losses.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng dropped 0.9% to 26,393.71 and the Shanghai Composite index was unchanged at 4,179.95.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s S&P\/ASX 200 lost 1.5% to 8,744.40. Taiwan\u2019s Taiex fell 0.8%, while India\u2019s Sensex declined 0.5%.<\/p>\n
