NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are nudging lower on Tuesday, and oil prices are rising again. It’s a modest return to form for financial markets after worries had seemed to calm on Wall Street Monday.

In early 2025, oil prices crashed to nearly $60 a barrel but rebounded to $75 due to the recent conflict.

Oil prices climbed on Tuesday as the Iran-Israel conflict raged with no end in sight, though major oil and gas infrastructure and flows have so far been spared from substantial impact.
