US Stocks Hold Near Records as Oil Prices Remain Volatile
The US stock market continued to hover around its record highs on Tuesday, while oil prices remained volatile due to uncertainty surrounding Iran's oil exports.
The S&P 500 index added 0.1% and remained close to its all-time high set on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 7 points or less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite nearly unchanged.
Oil prices saw significant swings, with Brent crude briefly jumping above $90 before falling back below $87. It was most recently trading at $87.99, up 0.3% from Monday's settlement price.
