US Stocks Rise as Oil Prices Fall and Wholesale Inflation Slows in July
Wall Street's major indexes, including the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite, opened higher as oil prices declined and US wholesale inflation data showed slower growth. The Producer Price Index rose 4.7% year-over-year in July, down from 5.5% in June, with no monthly increase. Brent crude futures fell about 2% amid concerns over global demand and rising US crude inventories. Meanwhile, tensions persist between Iran and the US over Middle East conflict resolution efforts.
