Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq rise after latest wholesale inflation data and as tech sector rebounds ahead of SpaceX IPO; Oracle shares slide after earnings results; U.S. and Iran exchange strikes for second day

U.S. stock indices—Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq—rose after wholesale inflation data and a tech-sector rebound, with SpaceX’s upcoming IPO driving momentum. Oil prices fell amid easing Middle East tensions, particularly following reports of canceled U.S. strikes on Iran. Oracle shares declined after earnings results, while gold stabilized as markets shifted focus to central bank policy and producer price inflation (PPI).

Coverage emphasizes the paradoxical market reactions: stocks rising despite inflation breaking 4% for the first time in three years, and oil dropping on geopolitical de-escalation. Major outlets including *The Wall Street Journal*, *MarketWatch*, and *TradingView* highlight the volatile interplay between inflation expectations, geopolitical risks, and sector-specific trends like tech and energy. Analysts at *Moomoo* and *qz.com* note the familiar pattern of oil and stocks moving inversely amid U.S.-Iran tensions.

Watch for further market reactions to the ECB’s policy stance and U.S. PPI data, as well as Oracle’s post-earnings trajectory. The SpaceX IPO remains a focal point for tech-sector performance, while Iran-U.S. dynamics could reintroduce volatility if tensions flare again.
