Stocks Settle Higher as Lower Crude Prices Ease Inflation Risks

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) closed up by +0.32% on Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up by +0.30%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up by +0.64%.  E-mini S&P futures (ESU26) rose +0.30%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU26) rose +0.63%.

Stock indices settled higher on Tuesday, supported by weakness in crude oil prices, which sent bond yields lower.  WTI crude oil fell more than -3% on Tuesday, easing inflation expectations and knocking the 10-year T-note yield down by -6 bp to 4.64%.  Crude prices tumbled on Tuesday on a news report that the US would be returning diplomats to Middle East embassies, easing concerns about an escalation of the Iran war.  Chipmakers and AI-infrastructure stocks also moved higher on Tuesday, lifting the broader market.  Short covering emerged in chipmakers ahead of Nvidia’s quarterly earnings results after the close on Wednesday. 

Stocks fell from their best levels on Tuesday amid weaker-tha... Read more
