Dow Jones15:35

0735 GMT - Shares of European semiconductor companies fall after Iran said over the weekend that it would close the Strait of Hormuz again and restrict shipping until the U.S. lifts its blockade on Iranian ports. Meanwhile, President Trump said the U.S. had seized an Iranian-flagged ship in the Gulf of Oman. Shares of Dutch semiconductor-equipment maker ASML Holding and smaller rival ASM International are down 1.3% and 1%, respectively. Shares of BE Semiconductor Industries, the Dutch supplier of semiconductor assembly equipment, are down 0.4%. German chip maker Infineon Technologies is down 1.7%. STMicroelectronics shares are down 0.2%. (mauro.orru@wsj.com)
