Stock Market Today: Oil Gains as Middle East Tensions Drive Safe-Haven Demand

Stock futures pointed to moderate losses Tuesday morning, following a session where all three major indexes edged to record highs.

Oil prices climbed as renewed hostilities in the Middle East raised supply concerns among traders.

The move higher in crude added pressure on energy stocks, which helped lift the broader commodity sector early on.

Investors remained focused on geopolitical developments while scanning for fresh economic data due later this week.

Bond yields edged lower as safe-haven demand increased amid the geopolitical uncertainty.

The technology sector showed early weakness, with major names slipping in premarket trading.

Analysts are watching for any escalation that could further disrupt global energy markets.

Market participants are also weighing the impact of higher oil prices on inflation expectations.

The dollar strengthened slightly against major currencies as risk sentiment faded.

Trading volumes are expected to remain moderate as many market participants wait for clearer signals.
