Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq edge higher as $81 WTI, inflation worries and Hormuz tensions temper risk appetite
AI Market Summary
Risk appetite improved modestly as US equities rose, but macro positioning stayed cautious amid Strait of Hormuz uncertainty and elevated oil prices that can reintroduce inflation pressure. WTI near $81 and Brent around $87 kept attention on energy-driven input costs ahead of CPI/PPI, complicating Fed expectations. Nvidia's AI-infrastructure capital mobilization supported tech sentiment, yet geopolitical and inflation risks continued to cap broader upside.
