Stocks are higher and oil prices are down as the stock market rises and dips amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran war.
The S&P 500 rose 0.7% after the United States announced it had a plan to pause the war to Iran, the Associated Press reported. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.8%, as of 2:01 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1% higher.
But the markets are volatile, jumping up and down.
That trend is expected as the war keeps going.
