US Stocks Fall on Rising Oil Prices, Inflation Concerns Ahead of Earnings Season
US stock futures and major indexes declined amid rising crude oil prices and elevated Treasury yields, fueling inflation concerns ahead of the third-quarter earnings season. Technology and semiconductor stocks underperformed, partly due to reports of lower-than-expected OpenAI revenues. Middle East tensions, including attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, contributed to oil supply fears. Investors are closely watching Federal Reserve policies and upcoming bank earnings for signs of economic impact from higher borrowing costs and inflation pressures.
