U.S. markets edged higher in premarket trading but stay cautious as oil prices dip for the first time in a week amid Middle East tensions that still threaten global energy flows. S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq all posted modest gains but remain on track to close the week down. Adding to unease: fears of an AI bubble and new U.S. tariffs on 60 trading partners over forced labor violations—following prior tariff actions that faced legal hurdles. Attacks on Red Sea oil tankers have intensified fears of supply disruptions, pushing the U.S. dollar to a 40-year high vs. the yen, while gas prices hit over $4.10 per gallon, fueling inflation concerns. Globally, markets split: European indexes rose, but Asian markets like Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong fell, especially in tech and AI stocks.
