US Stock Markets React to Middle East Tensions and Strait of Hormuz Developments

US stock markets showed mixed but generally positive movements amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump called for a coalition to reopen the vital oil route, though key allies like Japan and Australia declined to participate. Oil prices remained elevated due to the conflict, with some easing after reports of US allowing Iranian tankers passage. Investors also awaited central bank policy decisions amid inflation concerns, contributing to cautious market sentiment.
