Oil prices rise, but US stocks remain near their record on a muted Wall Street

NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices are climbing Monday following the latest rise of tensions between the United States and Iran, but the moves are more modest than they were earlier in their war. U.S. stocks, meanwhile, are giving back only a bit of their record-breaking rally.

The S&P 500 edged down just 0.1% from its all-time high after the United States attacked and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel over the weekend that it said had tried to evade its blockade of Iranian ports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 2 points, or less than 0.1%, as of 10 a.m. Eastern time, and... Read More

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will hear from Catholic preschools that say Colorado violated their religious rights by excluding them from a state-funded program over their admission policies.

The court agreed Monday to take up the appeal from St. Mary Catholic Parish, which is supported by the Republican Trump administration.

BOSTON (AP) — The fastest field in Boston Marathon history left Hopkinton on Monday morning for the 130th edition of the world's oldest and most prestigious annual marathon, riding cool weather and a tailwind on its 26.2-mile (42.1945-kilometer) journey to Copley Square.

Temperatures in the 30s, with frost on the ground, greeted the field of more than 30,000 in Hopkinton early Monday morning — a cold day but one that could lead to a second straight year of record times. It had warmed to 45 (7 degrees Celsius) by the time the elite racers set off.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — None of the past four NASCAR Cup Series champions managed to win more than four races in their entire season.
