What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

Oil prices have risen above $100 per barrel due to uncertainty surrounding the war with Iran, which has fueled renewed inflation concerns and pushed Treasury yields higher. Meanwhile, the tech sector has seen shifts, with Salesforce reporting strong revenue growth driven by AI adoption. The market is also grappling with competition, as a lower-cost AI model launched by China’s Moonshot AI rivals Anthropic’s powerful engine.
