Nasdaq steady in late trading as oil eases, Fed up next

Nasdaq steady in late trading as oil eases, Fed up next

Wall Street rallied Monday as stocks jumped, lifted by weaker oil prices and hints that the U.S. and Iran may be nearing a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The S&P 500 closed up 122.83 points at 7,554.29. The Dow added 468.77 to 51,671.03. The Nasdaq finished 795.10 higher at 26,683.94, according to Reuters and AP. Futures faded in after hours. The S&P 500 was down 0.12%, Nasdaq 100 futures off 0.16%, and Dow futures eased 0.07% as of 7:43 p.m. ET, Investing.com data showed. Stocks moved up after oil prices dropped, taking some pressure off inflation worries. Brent crude slumped and was trading near $83 a barrel after news of a deal. U.S. crude futures slid 4.9% and closed lower, Reuters reported. Cheaper oil often helps companies that use a lot of fuel and might ease some costs for consumers. Airline and cruise stocks bounced back, but energy names fell behind. “Markets are higher on a classic relief rally,” said Gene Goldman, chief investment officer at Cetera Investment Management, to Reuters. He said lower oil is pulling some investors into tech stocks.

Dow hits new closing high; oil falls after U.S.-Iran deal

Dow hits new closing high; oil falls after U.S.-Iran deal

Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to a fresh intraday record Monday after news of a U.S.-Iran deal pulled buyers back into the market, easing concerns about a drawn-out energy shock. The Dow, which tracks 30 large U.S. blue chips and is weighted by stock price, moves most when higher-priced names swing. Google Finance listed the Dow at 51,775.82, up 573.56 points or 1.12% on the day, after peaking at 51,945.89. Lower oil prices are bringing down inflation, trimming costs for fuel-heavy companies, and making it less likely the Fed will raise interest rates. That usually lifts stocks as investors bet on better profits or cheaper loans. Shares tend to drop when rates or costs go up, or when there’s more uncertainty. After the deal, Reuters said U.S. crude futures were down about 5%, helping airline and cruise stocks but weighing on energy names. “Markets are higher on a classic relief rally,” said Gene Goldman, chief investment officer at Cetera Investment Management, to Reuters.

Dow Sets Record, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Climb After US-Iran Deal; Oil Drops

Dow Sets Record, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Climb After US-Iran Deal; Oil Drops

Stocks jumped Monday, with investors turning to risk as a first-step U.S.-Iran deal took some pressure off Middle East oil worries. According to LSEG-delayed figures on Reuters, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 648.99 points, or 1.27%, to 51,851.25. The S&P 500 was up 1.50% at 7,543.05, and the Nasdaq Composite ran ahead 2.35% to 26,496.47. Reuters said the Dow hit an intraday peak as gains spread out from tech shares. Stocks climbed after oil tumbled, easing some pressure on inflation and on company costs. Brent crude dropped 5.45% to $82.57, according to Reuters data. Reuters also reported oil was down around 5% after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a framework deal that could end their war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. United Airlines rose 6.4%, Delta gained 4.1%, American Airlines added 5.2%, while Norwegian Cruise and Carnival were both up 5.2%. Oil producers slumped. Exxon Mobil and Chevron each fell about 5% as crude prices dropped.

Gold jumps, oil falls after U.S.-Iran deal; dollar moves as Fed bets shift

Gold jumps, oil falls after U.S.-Iran deal; dollar moves as Fed bets shift

Gold jumped Monday after U.S. and Iranian officials announced a first-step deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, putting oil, inflation, and U.S. rates back in play. Live gold hit $4,344.90 an ounce, up 3.00%, according to Kitco’s spot price feed. Spot gold was last up 2.8% at $4,336.49 as of 1044 GMT on Reuters. August futures rose 2.81% in early U.S. trade to $4,357.70, CME data showed. Gold’s rise is important for miners and gold ETFs. Bullion drives most of the revenue for mining companies and for ETFs such as SPDR Gold Shares ETF, which ended last session at $386.54. VanEck Gold Miners ETF added 3.0% to $80.03, again beating gold’s move. Miners’ shares often outpace the metal when gold is up, helping margins, but if gold drops or costs go up, the effect reverses.

Social Security’s 2032 Cliff Just Got Closer — And Washington Is Running Out Of Road

Social Security’s 2032 Cliff Just Got Closer — And Washington Is Running Out Of Road

Social Security’s main retirement trust fund is now expected to run short in late 2032, putting millions of Americans on course for an automatic 22% benefit cut unless Congress acts. The annual trustees report moved the depletion date up to the fourth quarter of 2032 from the first quarter of 2033. The timing matters because this is no longer a distant budget warning. The 2032 date falls inside the next presidential term after the 2028 election, and Washington’s long habit of delay is narrowing the room for a soft landing. A Washington Post editorial said every 2028 candidate now needs a Social Security plan because the program is projected to run out of reserves during that president’s term.

US stock futures slip with CPI ahead as Iran oil risk stirs Fed worries

US stock futures slip with CPI ahead as Iran oil risk stirs Fed worries

Stock futures dipped early Wednesday as traders waited for the May inflation print, a report that could shape whether the latest Wall Street slide turns into a buying opportunity or a reset for high-growth names that track rates. E-mini S&P 500 futures last traded at 7,330.25, off 62.50 points. Nasdaq 100 futures were lower by 371.25 points at 28,745.75, while Dow futures dropped 374 points to 50,535, per Barchart data. Traders aren’t just watching the CPI number. The Consumer Price Index tracks changes in what people pay for daily goods and services. This report comes at a tricky time with oil prices still affected by war risk, bond markets on edge about persistent inflation, and the Federal Reserve set to meet next week. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release the May CPI at 8:30 a.m. ET.
