NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Mayor Wall Street Index fell on Friday, but oil prices fell after US President Donald Trump was thwarted from immediate military action in the Israeli-Iran conflict.
A week after Israel’s first attack caused retaliation for Iran, all eyes remained trained in the Middle East. The US imposed Iran-related sanctions a day after saying it might take two weeks for Trump to decide on further action.
According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 lost 0.21%, while the Nasdaq composite fell by 0.49%. However, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 38.47 points (0.09%) to 42,210.13.
The inventory was open and very positive, and went in and out of negative territory during the session.
Global benchmark Brent crude futures fell 2.3% to $77.01 per barrel, but won 3.6% per week. The US month of crude oil – which remained restless due to US holidays on Thursday and expired on Friday – saw its weekly profit of 2.7%, down 0.28% at $74.93. (or)

“But Israel and Iran continue to be driven away from each other, but there may be unintentional actions that escalate conflict and touch oil infrastructure at any given time,” PVM analyst John Evans said.
The European Foreign Minister urged Iran to engage with the US over its nuclear program after high-level consultations in Geneva ended with a sign of progress that potential new nuclear deals ended.
The major European blues (.EU) have concluded the sessions higher following similar gains across Asia. Gauges of MSCI stocks worldwide fell by 0.01% that day.
The profits of Hong Kong’s Hungsen and South Korean Kospi were linked to the stimulus group of newly elected president Lee Mi Myung, who boosted Asian stocks during the session.

Federal Reserve policymakers made their first public comment since Chairman Jerome Powell said on Wednesday that borrowing costs are likely to fall this year, but said they hope for “meaning” inflation when Trump’s tariffs increase consumer prices.
The close division of how the governor manages risks was completely visible as Gov. Christopher Waller said he should consider cutting back on the next meeting soon.
