Abstract:The S&P 500 swung between gains and losses Tuesday, as investors weighed up the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict in the wake of the U.S. announcing a ban on imports of Russian energy.
The S&P 500 fell 0.16%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.08%, or 26 points, the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.2%. All three major averaged had staged a brief intraday rally, but gave up gains.
“Were banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy,” President Joe Biden said Tuesday. “That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at U.S. ports…” The embargo will ban new shipments of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal imports to the U.S.
Oil prices jumped sharply, pushing U.S. gas prices to record highs and exacerbated concerns that inflation pressures will remain elevated and dent economic growth.
The 10-year TIPS breakeven rate rose to 2.876%, pointing to bets on inflation averaging 2.9% a year for the next decade.
Industrials, meanwhile, were led higher by surge in Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) and rebound in airline stocks.
Caterpillar jumped more than 7% after Jefferies upgraded its rating on the industrial equipment maker to buy from hold and raised its price target to $260 from $215, as the stock has historically been a strong inflation hedge.
Airline stocks, which have come under pressure amid concerns about rising jet fuel costs, rebounded from a slump a day earlier.
American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL), United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) were up more than 4%.
Technology stocks remained out of favor, led lower by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which were both down less than 1%.
At its product launch event, Apple rolled out a new budget iPhone, an update to the iPad Air and an updated Mac chip, which will used in the new Mac Studio computer. Wedbush has estimated the new budget iPhone could rack up 30 million sales over the next year.
Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL), which bucked the trend lower, agreed to buy cybersecurity firm Mandiant in a deal worth $5.4 billion. The acquisition is expected to bolster cybersecurity for Googles cloud customers.
On the earnings front, Dicks Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS) reported quarter-results that beat on both the top and bottom lines, sending its shares more than 3% higher.
In other news, Dish Network rallied 6% after UBS upgraded the stock to buy from neutral on expectation that the company's spectrum assets are undervalued.
“Questions remain regarding DISH's wireless business model, but we believe DISH's network build protects the company's spectrum licenses, whose value serves as a backstop,” UBS said.

Launched in 2019, Immediate Edge claims to be an automated cryptocurrency trading platform using AI technology for crypto trading services. The platform requires a minimum deposit of $250 to begin trading, which is relatively expensive for many investors. During its short operation, Immediate Edge failed to establish a positive reputation. The platform has undergone frequent domain changes and has repositioned itself as an intermediary connecting users with investment firms—a move that appears designed to obscure its actual operations. Immediate Edge restricts services to investors from the United States; it remains accessible to users in other regions.
