Early trading on Wall Street is mixed and oil prices moved higher after the U.S. and Iran traded attacks, testing a ceasefire even further.

Weighing on the market was a climb of 1.1% for the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil, the international standard, which brought it back to US$97.07 (all figures are in U.S. dollars). It rose after the U.S. military said Iran fired missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain, which failed to hit their targets. The United States said it then struck an Iranian military ground control station on an island in the Strait of Hormuz.
