U.S. stocks held steadier as Wall Street waited for the next signal on when the war with Iran may end. The S&P 500 dipped 0.2% Tuesday, a day after its latest wild swings caused by extreme moves in the oil market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 34 points, and the Nasdaq composite edged higher by less than 0.1%. Oil prices remained sharply below their peaks hit the day before.
