U.S. stocks drifted lower in their return to trading from a three-day weekend after the latest fighting in the war with Iran pushed oil prices higher.
The S&P 500 fell 0.6% Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.2%, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.3%.
They felt pressure after the cost for a barrel of Brent briefly neared $99.50.
More expensive oil has worsened worries about inflation and is giving extra heft to a couple reports on inflation that are coming later this week. They will be the final updates the Federal Reserve hears before its meeting on interest rates next week.
On Tuesday:
The S&P 500 fell 45.08 points, or 0.6%, to 7,673.52.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 628.18 points, or 1.2%, to 52,786.07.
The Nasdaq composite fell 85.58 points, or 0.3%, to 26,421.41.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 15.44 points, or 0.5%, to 2,960.20.
For the year:
The S&P 500 is up 828.02 points, or 12.1%.
The Dow is up 4,722.78 points, or 9.8%.
The Nasdaq is up 3,179.42 points, or 13.7%.
