SPX is trading at 7401.11, up zero point zero three percent on the session as traders digest the latest headlines from the Middle East. President Trump told reporters he's not thinking about Americans' finances even a little bit in his Iran negotiations, a stance that adds fresh uncertainty around potential oil supply risks and broader market volatility. In the Asian market, diplomatic tensions are rising as Iran's foreign ministry condemned Kuwait's arrest of four individuals linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, claiming they entered Kuwaiti waters by mistake during a maritime patrol. Crude traders are watching that flare-up for any risk premium buildup. Bitcoin is trading at 80480, down 1.9 percent over the past 24 hours, reflecting a modest risk-off tone while the VIX sits at 18.03, up zero point one seven percent.
