  • Apple Leads Wall Street as Oil Prices Retreat Amid Market Gains
    May 1, 2026, 5:25 PM EDT. The U.S. stock market advanced toward new records, led by Apple, which surged 4% on stronger-than-expected quarterly profits, boosting the S&P 500. Estee Lauder and Colgate-Palmolive also posted better earnings, with Estee Lauder climbing 6.8%, supported by growth in China. About 84% of S&P 500 companies reporting so far have beaten earnings forecasts, signaling approximately 15% profit growth year-over-year. Oil prices eased 2.2% to $108 per barrel after earlier spikes related to the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz concerns. Despite higher quarterly profits from Exxon Mobil and Chevron, their stocks fell due to declining oil prices and income drops compared to last year. Lower oil prices contributed to a slight decrease in 10-year Treasury yields to 4.36%, while U.S. manufacturing growth came in softer than expected in April.
