It seems the mood boost from Monday's Anthropic rally is still lingering: U.S. stocks have opened higher, with the Nasdaq leading gains.
Meanwhile, Brent crude prices are slipping. They remain elevated at about $110 a barrel, as attacks continue on commercial shipping in the Persian Gulf. A vessel was seen on fire Monday southeast of Iraq, according to a report from the British navy-affiliated UKMTO.
Also in focus Tuesday: Israelis are voting in parliamentary elections that could determine whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gets to remain in power. The outcome could be consequential for the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Netanyahu has said Israel must finish the job of overthrowing the Iranian regime, whereas his opponent, Gadi Eisenkot, has said he favors turning military victories into diplomatic achievements.
