US Stocks Pare Losses

2026-04-13 14:50 By Andre Joaquim 1 min. read

US stocks pared some losses on Monday, tracking a slight trim in benchmark oil prices and a pullback in yields despite escalation in the Middle East conflict.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 inched higher on the rally for companies in software and applications, while the Dow hovered below the flatline.

The US failed to strike an agreement with Iran over the weekend, prompting President Trump to announce a blockade of tankers with Iranian energy.

Oil and gas prices rose as the conflict was prolonged, but the mild reaction for long-dated yields prevented a sharper loss for equities to reflect low concerns of an inflationary outlook.

Oracle, Palantir, Crowdstrike, and ServiceNow surged over 5%.

Meanwhile, banks and asset managers were mixed ahead of their earnings this week, set to unveil risks on higher yields and vulnerabilities to private credit stress.

Goldman Sachs was the first to report, sliding 4% as it missed revenue estimates for fixed-income, currencies, and commodity trading.
