Wall Street closed out August on a downbeat note Monday as stocks fell and the price of oil rose after the U.S. launched its first military action in a month against Iran. The S&P 500 index fell 0.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.7% and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%.

The Dow, meanwhile, managed its fifth-straight monthly gain. Monday's losses were broad, with nearly every sector within the benchmark S&P 500 ...
I guess I should have waited a week to write my column about the possibility of U.S. Sen. Jim Justice getting into the 2028 Republican primary to challenge Gov. Patrick Morrisey, because now the cold war between the two I wrote about last week has become a hot one.

NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks led Wall Street after Nvidia, Salesforce and others reported fatter profits for the spring than expected. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% Thursday and pulled closer to its record set earlier this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.6%. Nvidia was the strongest force lifting the market and more than offset drops for the majority of the stocks within the S&P 500.
