Good MorningU.S. stocks moved notably lower Monday as renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and a restored Strait of Hormuz blockade sent crude prices sharply higher. Oil topped $83 a barrel in some reports, weighing on risk appetite and pushing the Nasdaq and S&P 500 down after gains in the prior two sessions. High-beta growth names were hit especially hard, with AppLovin falling more than 10%.
AI and semiconductor stocks remained in focus. SK Hynix fell sharply after its U.S. trading debut, while memory-related shares and the DRAM ETF continued to pull back. AMD drew fresh optimism after Bank of America raised its price target ahead of earnings, citing strong server demand, and Dell continued to benefit from investor interest tied to NVIDIA, AMD and Microsoft partnerships.
Investors are also preparing for a major test of earnings season, with JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs set to report Tuesday. Other corporate headlines included Robinhood exploring its first credit card-backed bond sale, Netflix options traders turning bullish ahead of earnings, Chipotle opening its first restaurant in Mexico, and Trex raising full-year guidance after realigning its distribution network.

| From Our Partners | | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years. Stansberry has identified three asset categories connected to Trump's initiative that could surge, plus his single top investment move. | | Watch the documentary briefing and find out which side you land on |
