Major U.S. Stock Indexes Trim Gains; Oil Rises -- WSJ

Dow Jones04-07

By Angus Berwick

Stocks wavered and oil prices rose as investors awaited more details on whether the Middle East war would pause or intensify this week.

Oil prices moved about 2% higher after Trump started an afternoon press conference, saying of Iran: "The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night."

Iran on Monday rejected a U.S. plan to end the war, issuing its own 10-point response via Pakistan, according to Iran's state news agency IRNA.

President Trump said Iran's counter proposal wasn't good enough for a cease-fire, but that "it's a significant step."

The developments followed a weekend in which the Trump administration pushed for a potential 45-day cease-fire with Iran while the president posted escalatory rhetoric on social media.

Trump said over the weekend that the U.S. would bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran if a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz wasn't reached by Tuesday.

U.S. oil futures rose about 2% in choppy trading Monday to about $114 a barrel. Traders are paying a premium for WTI crude, a reflection of the huge supply shortfall in the market right now.

The three major U.S. stock indexes pared modest gains druing Trump's press conference.

In recent trading:

--The dollar fell against a basket of currencies.

--Gold rose less than 1%.

--Bitcoin strengthened to $70,000.
