Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq jump, oil slides as Iran's retaliatory strikes appear restrained
US stocks closed near session highs on Monday while oil prices tanked after Iran launched missiles at a US air base in Qatar in what appeared to be a limited retaliation for US strikes against Iranian nuclear sites.
Brent crude (BZ=F) futures fell 7% to settle at $71.48 per barrel, while WTI (CL=F) closed at $68.51 per barrel.
Federal Reserve governor Michelle Bowman expressed support for a rate cut "as soon" as July, becoming the second central bank policymaker to be that explicit in recent days about an easing of monetary policy in the near term.

=============================================
The S&P 500 closed Monday June 23 at 6025, up 1.0% for the day,
and up 4.2% from the 5783 election day closing level,
and up 0.5% from the inauguration eve closing level,
and up 2.4% year-to-date,
and down 1.9% from its all-time closing high of 6144 on Feb 19. (we were down 18.9% at the 4/8 close, nearing a bear market which is 20% down)
S&P 500
# Election day close (11/5/24) 5783
# Last close before inauguration day: (1/17/25): 5997
# 2024 year-end close (12/31/24): 5882
# All-time closing high (2/19/25): 6144
. . . A correction begins at 10% down which is 5530 - we crossed that threshold March 13.
. . . A bull market begins at 20% down which is 4915 - we haven't reached that level yet under Trump II
# Trump II era low point (going all the way back to election day Nov5): 4983 on April 8
. . . 10% above that level is 5481

It is down 1.9% from its all-time closing high of 6144 on Feb 19. Anything between 5% and 10% down is in 'pullback' territory. Corrections start at 10% down (at 5530), and bear markets start at 20% down (at 4915).
(It closed Thursday March 13 more than 10% down, making it officially the start of a correction. I don't know when corrections end -- when a new closing high occurs???)
========================================================
I'm not a fan of the DOW as it is a cherry-picked collection of just 30 stocks that are price-weighted, which is silly. But since there is an automatically updating embedded graphic, here it is. It takes several, like 6 hours, after the close for it to update, like about 10 PM EDT.
(If it still isn't updated, try right-clicking on it and opening in a new tab. #OR# click on https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EDJI/ ).
It closed Friday at 42,207, and it closed Monday at 42,582, a rise of 0.9% (375 points) for the day
I don't maintain statistics for the DOW like percent up or down since election day, or year-to-date, or from the all-time high etc. like I do for the S&P 500.
DJIA means Dow Jones Industrials Average. It takes about 6 hours after the close to update, so check it after 10 PM EDT
