US stocks near record highs as oil falls on Iran deal hopes

financeMay 7, 20269144

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite hovered near record highs on Thursday as oil prices tumbled after reports that the United States and Iran are close to a deal to de-escalate regional tensions. Brent and U.S. crude extended losses, dragging down energy stocks and lifting large-cap growth names and semiconductor suppliers. Only 22 percent of S&P 500 companies outperformed the index over the past 30 days, the smallest share in three decades, showing gains concentrated in a handful of stocks. Cheaper oil would ease inflationary pressure and consumer fuel costs, while concentrated market breadth raises the risk of a sharper pullback if the Iran détente stalls.

Markets are sitting at record highs while the world waits to see if a war in the Middle East ends or spreads. Gas is still $4.18 a gallon. Your mortgage is still 6.3%. But stocks don't care how you feel. Let me explain why that gap exists. 🧵

Correction warnings from "analysts," and "top pickers" have, ultimately, always amazed me, in that... being right for such a short time is futile and really quite useless. "Sentiment" and being right for a brief time in the spotlight, does not tell any story. Record HIGHS, again.
