Wall Street Holds Steady as Oil Prices Rise

Oil companies led Wall Street gains after a U.S. policy blocking sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers raised crude prices by 1.6%, reversing earlier declines this year.

  • On Wednesday, U.S. stocks held relatively steady in New York, with the S&P 500 nearly unchanged, the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 219 points, and the Nasdaq composite 0.2% lower at 10:15 a.m. Eastern.
  • Amid renewed U.S. pressure on Venezuela, `Trump's Venezuela Oil Blockade` prompted market reaction after oil declined most of this year.
  • U.S. crude rose 1.6% to $56.02 and Brent climbed 1.5% to $59.78, boosting energy stocks like ConocoPhillips.
  • Investors kept yields steady ahead of Thursday's inflation report, with U.S. Treasury yields unchanged while Jabil jumped 5.9% after strong profits and Netflix climbed 2.7%.
  • Global markets showed mixed results, with South Korea's Kospi leaping 1.4% while AI industry stocks like Nvidia, Oracle, and CoreWeave fell between 2.1% and 4.5%.
