Oil Prices Climb Amid Geopolitical Tensions

The market was marred by geopolitical concerns, though technology stocks were strong. However, recent strikes on Iranian territory have put a downpour on roses when it comes to any peace treaty between the United States and Iran. Experts fear these battles will clog important diplomatic processes.

Energy stocks rallied this week on the conflict. Brent crude oil increased by 1.85% to reach $85.74 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate futures climbed 2.83% to cross back over the $90 mark. These prices are still less than what was observed earlier in the conflict. While these developments indicate that investors appreciate a longer term stability outlook.

What Investors Are Watching Next

Despite some geopolitical headwinds, the stock market is still setting new rallies. All three main indexes finished May on record levels, as earnings were strong corporate wide in the first quarter.

Later this week, the momentum would be tested. There is a keen interest among market participants following the next Broadcom earnings release, as Nvidia’s No. 1 competitor, Broadcom is under close watch. Traders would like to see whether Broadcom can replicate the superb performance it has seen from Dell recently. 

Finally, the much-anticipated jobs data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will be out Friday. The numbers come just before the Federal Reserve meeting chaired by new Chairman Kevin Warsh, who many suspect may want interest rate cuts.
