NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are swinging again Monday as oil prices keep climbing because of uncertainty about when the war with Iran could end.

The S&P 500 rose 0.5% in midday trading, coming off its worst week since the war with Iran began. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 411 points, or 0.9%, as of 11:50 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.4% higher.

Apollo's impatient old-timers are rooting for NASA's return to the moon with Artemis II launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The people who toiled night and day to put astronauts on the moon during Apollo are thrilled that NASA is finally going back. They just wish these Artemis moonshots had happened sooner while more of Apollo’s workforce was still alive.

Now in their 80s and 90s, the dwindling survivors of NASA’s greatest generation would also like to see more enthusiasm for Artemis.

It comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters he had “no problem” with a Russian oil tanker delivering relief to the island, which has been brought to its knees by a U.S. oil blockade.

The exact location of the Russian-flagged Anatoly Kolodkin remained a subject of conflicting reports Monday morning. While the Russian Transport Ministry and the state-run news portal Cubadebate... Read More
