Japan Financial Markets

U.S. stocks pulled back from their record heights on a shaky Wall Street. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% Thursday to halt a weekslong rally. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.4%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.9%. Tesla helped drag the market lower on concerns about how much it's spending to build factories. Stocks also took a hit after the price for a barrel of Brent crude to be delivered in June briefly jumped above $107. Uncertainty continues about what will happen with the Iran war. That sent the S&P 500 suddenly down as much as 1.3% before it trimmed its loss.
