NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are nudging lower on Tuesday, and oil prices are rising again. It’s a modest return to form for financial markets after worries had seemed to calm on Wall Street Monday.

Oil prices climbed on Tuesday as the Iran-Israel conflict raged with no end in sight, though major oil and gas infrastructure and flows have so far been spared from substantial impact.

Stocks lost ground in early trading Tuesday, while oil prices moved higher, as investors monitored developments in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran and digested disappointing economic data.
