U.S. stock indexes slipped and gave back some of their rallies from the day before, while oil prices got back to rising. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% Tuesday after yo-yoing through the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 0.8%. Oil prices clawed back some of their steep 10% drops from the prior day, while Treasury yields climbed in the bond market. Markets regressed as attacks continued in the war with Iran, a day after President Donald Trump raised hopes a potential end to fighting could come soon.

Worries about the war with Iran sent oil prices back to $100 per barrel and stocks sinking worldwide. The S&P 500 fell 1.5% Thursday and returned to big swings following a couple days of relative calm. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.6%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 1.8%. The center of action was again the oil market, where the price of a barrel of Brent crude got as high as $101.59. Treasury yields climbed in the bond market on worries about higher inflation and fewer cuts to interest rates by the Federal Reserve.

Hungary has temporarily detained seven Ukrainians working for a state bank and seized armored vehicles full of cash, setting off a sharp dispute with Kyiv. Hungarian customs officials say they have opened a money laundering case. The Ukrainians were released Friday, following their detention on Thursday, but Hungarian officials held onto the cash, prompting Ukraine to accuse Hungary’s Russia-friendly government of illegally seizing the money.  Ukraine’s foreign minister called the detentions “state banditism." Ukraine’s Oschadbank says the shipment included millions in dollars and euros, plus gold. The clash adds fuel to a wider dispute over blocked Russian oil flows through Ukraine.

U.S. stocks sank after the price of oil spiked to its highest level since 2024. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average briefly dropped more than 1,100 points before finishing with a loss of 784. The Nasdaq composite slipped 0.3%. The losses came as financial markets around the world keep following the cue of the oil market. Oil prices gave back some of their big gains late in the day, which helped stocks in the U.S. moderate their losses at the end of trading. But worries nevertheless remain high about how long the war with Iran will disrupt oil production.

Oil prices leaped on worries that war with Iran could clog the flow of crude, while U.S. stocks swung from sharp losses to tiny gains. The S&P 500 fell as much as 1.2% Monday, and cruise lines and airlines led the way lower on worries about higher fuel bills. But U.S. stocks quickly erased those losses, in part because past military conflicts haven’t usually created sustained drops for the market. The index finished with a gain of less than 0.1%. The Dow dipped 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.4%. Oil and defense stocks rallied. Treasury yields rose with worries about inflation.

Greg Abel paid tribute to his predecessor Warren Buffett while promising in his first shareholder letter that Berkshire Hathaway won't retreat from investing or make significant changes in the way it operates. Abel took over as CEO in January. Investors are watching closely for any changes he might make, but Abel reaffirmed Saturday that they should expect any major shifts. Buffett remains chairman and the largest shareholder. Abel is now writing the annual letters that were always known as one of the most-read business reports. No one is expecting him to match Buffett's wit.
