On Monday, May 4, 2026, U.S. equities pulled back from recent record highs as renewed Middle East tension—specifically reports of missile activity and concern over disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz—hit risk sentiment. The S&P 500 and Dow traded modestly lower, while the Nasdaq also slipped as investors moved cautiously after last week’s strong earnings-driven rally. (thestreet.com)
The latest leg down comes just after a powerful April rally, when major U.S. indexes closed out their best month since 2020 on the back of stronger‑than‑expected earnings from large caps such as Alphabet, Apple, Caterpillar, and Visa and easing worries about an imminent recession. (apnews.com)
Oil prices spiked intraday as traders priced in a higher geopolitical risk premium tied to the Iran/Strait of Hormuz headlines, complicating the outlook for inflation and interest rates and giving investors another reason to take profits after the market’s run to record levels. (apnews.com)
