  • Oil Prices Surge Amid Iran Conflict, Global Stocks Slip on Tech Sell-off
    June 8, 2026, 10:05 PM EDT. Oil prices surged following renewed fighting between Israel and Iran, though gains later moderated. Wall Street partially recovered from last week's sharp sell-off, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.3% and the Nasdaq up 0.9%, driven by a rebound in AI-related semiconductor stocks. Key chipmakers like Micron Technology and Marvell Technology surged nearly 10% after heavy losses on Friday sparked by concerns of an AI-driven bubble. Marvell will join the S&P 500, replacing Campbell's, whose shares fell despite strong quarterly profits. Analyst Michael Wilson of Morgan Stanley called Friday's correction "inevitable and healthy" for sustaining the bull market, targeting an 8,000 level for the S&P 500 by year-end.
