The rejection raises the stakes for Trump\u2019s\u00a0trip this week to China, where he could urge President Xi Jinping to pressure Iran into making concessions. Xi has leverage because China is the biggest buyer of Iran\u2019s sanctioned crude oil.<\/p>\n<p>The war has already sent the price for a barrel of Brent up from roughly $70 and delivered a blast of painful inflation through the global economy. That\u2019s because it has shut the\u00a0Strait of Hormuz\u00a0and kept oil tankers stuck in the Persian Gulf instead of delivering crude to customers worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the U.S. stock market has been setting records recently on hopes that the war will not keep oil prices high for very long. U.S. companies are meanwhile\u00a0producing even bigger profits\u00a0than analysts expected, while signals suggest\u00a0the U.S. economy is holding up\u00a0even though\u00a0households are feeling discouraged\u00a0about expensive gasoline and tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>On Wall Street, the S&amp;P 500 edged up by 0.1% from its record set Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 3 points, or less than 0.1%, as of 10:05 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was virtually unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>Mosaic helped drag on the market after the fertilizer company reported much weaker results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company is benefiting from higher prices for its products, but it\u2019s also contending with much higher prices for sulfur and other raw materials that it uses because of logistics snarls created by the war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Mosaic\u2019s stock slipped 1%.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Stocks of companies whose customers have the least cushion to absorb higher gasoline prices also struggled, and Dollar General fell 5.8%. Businesses with big fuel bills likewise had some of the market\u2019s sharpest losses, including drops of 4.6% for Royal Caribbean and 2.6% for United Airlines.<\/p>\n<p>Helping to offset those losses was Fox, which rose 3% after reporting stronger profit and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4541\">Orange County\u2019s 2026 Primary Election Voter Guide is here to help you cast your ballot<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More than four out of every five companies in the S&amp;P 500 index that have reported their results for the latest quarter have topped profit expectations so far, and they\u2019re on track to deliver overall growth of nearly 28%, according to FactSet. If that turns out to be the case, it would be the best growth since the end of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of earnings reports, Beazer Homes USA soared 30.1% after Dream Finders Homes offered to buy it in a deal valuing it at roughly $704 million. A combination would create the country\u2019s seventh-largest homebuilder, and Dream Finders is asking Beazer\u2019s shareholders to push its management to OK the deal after making several attempts itself.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dream Finders slipped 0.2%.<\/p>\n<p>Tech stocks were also strong, continuing their big run amid big spending in the boom around\u00a0artificial-intelligence technology. Gains of 1.4% for Nvidia and 4.9% for Micron Technology were two of the strongest forces pushing upward on the S&amp;P 500.<\/p>\n<p>In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed across Europe and Asia. France\u2019s CAC 40 fell 0.8%, and South Korea\u2019s Kospi soared 4.3% for two of the world\u2019s bigger moves.<\/p>\n<p>In the bond market, Treasury yields held ticked higher. The 10-year yield edged up to 4.39% from 4.38% late Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Yields have moderated a bit this month, but they remain well above where they were before the war began. Higher yields can raise rates for\u00a0mortgages\u00a0and other kinds of loans going to U.S. households and businesses, which in turn can slow the economy. Higher yields also tend to push downward on prices for stocks and other kinds of investments.<\/p>\n<p>A report on Monday said the pace of sales for previously occupied U.S. homes accelerated last month, but not by as much as economists expected.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4540\">Many California colleges, universities, public schools impacted by nationwide Canvas breach<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>AP Business Writers Chan Ho-him and Matt Ott contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil prices are rising as the Iran war threatens to drag on for longer, but the U.S. stock market is holding near its record heights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4096,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-facts","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
