NYSE<\/p>\n

The S&P 500<\/a> fell slightly on Tuesday in choppy trading as oil prices pulled back and traders kept an eye on the Iran war.<\/p>\n

The broad market index dropped 0.21% to end at 6,781.48. The Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a> dipped 34.29 points, or 0.07%, and closed at 47,706.51. The Nasdaq Composite<\/a> inched up 0.01% to settle at 22,697.10. The Dow had lost as much as 296.57 points, or 0.6%, earlier in the day. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, at their lows.<\/p>\n

Oil prices, which spiked to nearly $120 a barrel Monday at height of fear around the Iran conflict, dropped as traders believed a group of countries would tap emergency crude reserves<\/a> to mitigate disruption caused by the conflict.<\/p>\n

Prices then slid further after Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a since-deleted social media post<\/a> that the U.S. Navy was able to escort a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. After the post appeared to be deleted, however, oil bounced back slightly off its lows, while stocks moved off their highs of the day.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said later Tuesday that the U.S. has, in fact, not escorted a tanker<\/a> through the Strait passageway.<\/p>\n

Also weighing on sentiment, CBS News reported<\/a> that the U.S. has started to see indications that Iran is moving toward deploying mines in the Strait.<\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate futures<\/a> fell 11.94% to settle at $83.45 a barrel. Brent crude<\/a> shed 11.28% to end at $87.80 a barrel.<\/p>\n

Wall Street is coming off a wild session in which the Dow erased a more than 800-point deficit as crude prices eased. The turnaround was fueled by President Donald Trump<\/a> on Monday hinting that the conflict could end soon. He later said<\/a>, “We’re achieving major strides toward completing our military objective.”<\/p>\n

To be sure, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said<\/a> Tuesday that “today will be our most intense day of strikes inside Iran.” He also said that Iran is “badly losing.”<\/p>\n

Mike Sanders of Madison Investments anticipates that if oil prices drop back to the low $70s and $60s range, it won’t be a big deal for the economy.<\/p>\n

“If we stay elevated \u2014 which there should probably be a little bit more of a premium in the market, given all the uncertainty that we have \u2014 I do think it’s going to matter,” the portfolio manager and head of fixed income said. “It’s going to take a while to work its way through.”<\/p>\n

The Dow lost 3% last week for its worst performance in nearly a year as oil prices ramped higher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
