Amid ongoing military action by the United States and Israel against Iran, the U.S. stock market showed a mixed performance on the first trading day following the escalation, with the main indexes fluctuating near flat territory. However, global energy prices soared sharply in response to geopolitical uncertainty.

At the New York Stock Exchange, the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged lower, while the S&P 500 saw a slight gain and the Nasdaq Composite posted stronger performance, suggesting investor confidence in certain sectors despite broader regional risks.

International benchmark crude prices climbed significantly, with Brent crude climbing nearly 7% and reaching multi-month highs during intraday trading. Natural gas futures also jumped roughly 40% in Asian and European markets, highlighting heightened demand concerns.

In the bond market, U.S. Treasury yields rose as perceived safe-haven buying was offset by inflation expectations linked to rising fuel costs, leading to lower bond prices.

Technology stocks, particularly AI-chip makers, helped buoy parts of the market, while energy companies benefited from higher oil prices, resulting in a sector-specific divergence in performance.
