Air Canada Shares Gain After Oil Declines, Labour Talks Update

Air Canada Shares Gain After Oil Declines, Labour Talks Update

Air Canada shares rose almost 3% Monday in Toronto, trading stronger as the Canadian market firmed and oil prices dropped. A tentative deal with thousands of front-line staff also supported the stock. The shares changed hands near C$20.9, up from a previous close of C$20.30, moving between C$20.62 and C$20.98 during the day. Airlines are moving now as fuel-price headlines keep pressure on the sector. The S&P/TSX composite in Canada hit a record intraday high, up 0.7% to 34,778.98 at 10:21 a.m. ET, after oil dropped around 5%. The drop followed reports of U.S. and Iran talks to end their conflict. Brian Madden, chief investment officer at First Avenue Investment Counsel, said even a “non-zero chance” at peace could pull oil down and stocks up. Madden also said he wasn’t “100% convinced” the discussions would last.

Brent Drops Under $100 After Iran Deal Hopes Hit Market

Brent Drops Under $100 After Iran Deal Hopes Hit Market

Oil dropped sharply Monday, with Brent dipping under $100 per barrel. Traders pointed to signs of progress in U.S.-Iran discussions, which lifted hopes for more energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude futures dropped $6.01, or 5.8%, to $97.53 a barrel by 1125 GMT. West Texas Intermediate fell $5.65, or 5.9%, to $90.95. Both hit the lowest levels since May 7. Futures are contracts to buy or sell oil at a set date in the future.

Nifty, Sensex slide as Reliance and ICICI miss; Wipro tumbles and tariff jitters spread

Nifty Reclaims 24,000 as Oil Drop Boosts India Stocks

Indian stocks rallied Monday, with the Nifty 50 climbing back past 24,000 and the Sensex gaining over 1,000 points. The drop in crude prices took some pressure off a market that’s been dealing with war risks, a weak rupee and foreign outflows for weeks. At 15:23 IST, the Nifty traded at 24,028.10, up 1.30%. The Sensex stood at 76,484.87, up 1.42%, heading into the close. India buys most of its oil from abroad, so the drop mattered. Brent crude dropped under $100 a barrel after U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran had “largely negotiated” a memorandum of understanding on a peace deal. That deal could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a major path for oil and LNG shipments.

Bitcoin holds over $77,000; oil falls, ETF outflows reported

Bitcoin holds over $77,000; oil falls, ETF outflows reported

Bitcoin moved above $77,000 on Monday as trading stayed thin with the holiday. Softer oil prices, helped by hopes for U.S.-Iran talks, pushed bitcoin higher. Still, selling from listed bitcoin funds capped much of the move. Bitcoin was last at about $77,500, up close to 0.8% on the day. Markets in New York and London are shut for holidays—Memorial Day for the New York Stock Exchange and the Spring Bank Holiday on May 25 for London. That means no trading in cash equities at either center. Crypto markets are still open, moving without direction from those big equity exchanges.

Nifty Faces Oil Moves, Rupee and Short Week

Indian stocks start the holiday-shortened week still facing pressure from crude prices, the rupee, and overseas selling. A slight weekly rise hasn’t undone losses from the Iran war jolt.

NSE Indices puts the next holiday for equities and derivatives on May 28.

Asia Stocks Face Big Week as Oil, Bonds, AI Stay in Spotlight

Asia’s stock markets open Monday with traders watching chips, as oil, yields, and regulators in China weigh on sentiment. Headlines out of Washington added some uncertainty. U.S. President Trump said a peace deal with Iran is “largely negotiated.” But Iranian media denied his claim that the Strait of Hormuz has reopened. Nikkei 225 jumped 2.68% Friday, while the Hang Seng rose 0.86% and Shanghai added 0.87%. Australia’s All Ordinaries was up 0.41%, data from LSEG showed. Bulls are still pushing, but the last cash session didn’t leave much room for comfort.

Oil Back Over $105 as Traders Skeptical on Hormuz Peace Hopes

Oil rose Friday with traders doubting that new U.S.-Iran talks would bring a fast restart of supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Both benchmarks stayed on pace for a weekly loss, but crude held onto support. Brent futures were up $3.30, or 3.2%, at $105.88 a barrel by 0845 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate added $2.53, or 2.6%, to $98.88. Tamas Varga at PVM Oil Associates said headlines were pushing the market, and said hopes for a truce were keeping Brent from rising much past $110.

Asia Stocks Climb While Oil Jitters Linger; Nikkei Approaches Record

Asia Stocks Climb While Oil Jitters Linger; Nikkei Approaches Record

Asia stocks climbed Friday, with Japan leading the way. Investors brushed off high oil prices and a firmer dollar, betting on progress in U.S.-Iran peace talks. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific index ex-Japan was up 0.8%. The Nikkei surged 2.8%, near its all-time peak. Markets are caught between hopes for diplomacy to ease fears of a deeper energy shock and worries that it’s already too late, with inflation and rate bets moving up. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for oil and LNG, is still where everything’s tense.

Dow Jones Sets New Record; IBM, Oil, Iran News Cited

Dow Jones ends at record, up 276 points as oil drops, investors eye Iran talks The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at a new all-time high Thursday, climbing 276.31 points, or 0.55%, to 50,285.66.

American Airlines Stock Rises as Oil Falls, Traders Track Fuel Prices

American Airlines Stock Rises as Oil Falls, Traders Track Fuel Prices

American Airlines Group Inc. shares closed 7.4% higher at $12.95 on Wednesday. The move came as falling oil prices drew buyers back to airline stocks before the U.S. session Thursday. Nasdaq's regular session was still closed at the dateline time. Why it matters now: Fuel costs are now the main swing factor for American’s 2026 earnings outlook. The airline’s stock is trading more on oil moves than pure travel demand, acting almost like a leveraged bet on whether crude prices hold up or retreat from this year’s war-driven surge.

Brent crude lost over 4% after President Donald Trump said U.S.-Iran talks were in their “final stages,” but Reuters said investors stayed cautious as Middle East supply issues persisted.

Wall Street Still On Edge Despite Trump’s Iran Strike Delay; Oil, Yields, AI Stocks Vulnerable

Stocks in the U.S. ended Monday on a mixed note, with the Dow finishing up, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing lower as tech stocks slipped. Oil prices rose after President Donald Trump said he stopped a planned strike on Iran, and investors tried to size up the chances of diplomacy versus fresh supply risks. Oil is no longer the only issue. With crude prices rising, inflation could stay sticky, and higher bond yields are pushing up borrowing costs for households, companies, and governments as investors demand more to hold government debt.

Grab Stock Slides Into a Big Week as Oil, Yields and Indonesia Risks Crowd the Trade

Grab Stock Slides Into a Big Week as Oil, Yields and Indonesia Risks Crowd the Trade

Grab Holdings Limited heads into the new week under pressure after its Nasdaq-listed shares closed Friday at $3.55, down 4.57% over five sessions, leaving the stock down 28.86% so far this year. Nasdaq was shut for the weekend, so Monday’s U.S. session will be the first chance for investors to reset positions after Friday’s wider selloff. The timing matters. Grab is not just a Southeast Asian internet stock; it is a fuel- and consumer-exposed platform whose ride-hailing and delivery businesses can feel the bite when oil prices, driver costs and household budgets all move the wrong way. U.S. investors are also looking at a market that has been lifted by artificial intelligence shares but is now being tested by bond yields and inflation.

  • Tesla beats Q2 delivery estimates as European sales jump
    July 2, 2026, 7:07 PM EDT. Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in the second quarter, up 25% from a year ago and ahead of Wall Street's 402,776 estimate, as sales in Europe picked up. Higher fuel prices, more government support, new fleet deals, and fewer worries about CEO Elon Musk helped push sales higher in the region. Still, Tesla shares dropped more than 7% after recent gains and strong expectations. U.S. sales stayed under pressure after federal EV credits were cut, while growth in China was slower. Analysts say Europe's boost could help Tesla hold off a yearly sales drop and back its plans in self-driving tech and AI.
