Stocks started the week with a lot of back-and-forth movement, as the major market indexes (the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq) swung up and down on fresh headlines tied to the Iran conflict.

When markets are reacting to developing news, “volatility” often increases—meaning prices can change quickly, even within minutes, as investors constantly re-price risk. In the update, the S&P 500 remains near record highs, but a few longer-term signals still look mixed.
