Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq: Wall Street in the Minus – McDonald’s Stock Under Pressure
Rising oil prices are once again weighing on sentiment on the US stock markets. Investors are also continuing to focus particularly on geopolitical developments.
US stock market indexes fell on Wednesday, with Dow Jones down 0.3% to 51,688 points, S&P 500 down 0.5% to 7,725, and Nasdaq down 1% to 26,970. The declines were attributed to uncertainties in the Iran conflict and rising oil prices. Oil prices rose nearly 2% to over $100 per barrel, with the North Sea Brent crude ending a five-day losing streak. US President Donald Trump stated that the US government is considering an export ban on diesel fuel due to rising prices.
