The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite hit new closing highs on Thursday, with the two equity indexes recording their biggest monthly gains since 2020.The S&P 500 rose 1% to 7,209, while the Nasdaq climbed 0.9% to 24,892.3, both logging record closing highs.

The Dow climbed 7.1%.In company news, Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) first-quarter results exceeded Wall Street's estimates late Wednesday as revenue for Google's cloud and services businesses climbed.

"Those factors will continue to drive growth over the rest of the year, but the jump in energy prices will take some of the shine off what would otherwise have been a strong year for the economy."Separate official data showed that US inflation, as measured by the personal consumption expenditure price index, accelerated in March to the fastest pace since mid-2022 as the Middle East conflict sent energy prices soaring."Inflationary pressures continued to percolate," Ksenia Bushmeneva, economist at TD Economics, said in a report. "The situation around the energy crisis remains uncertain and gas prices are likely to remain elevated for some time."Gold rose 1.6% at $4,635 per troy ounce, while silver advanced 2.9% to $74.18 per ounce.

US Equity Indexes Close Mixed as Crude Oil, Treasury Yields Jump; Fed Policy Faces Growing Dissent

US equity indexes closed mixed on Wednesday as crude oil futures and government bond yields rose amid concern that no end is in sight for the Iran war.The Federal Open Market Committee maintained its target rate at a policy meeting, but beneath that outcome, the level of dissent was, reportedly, the highest since 1992. Separately, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said he would stay as governor "at least" until the central bank's legal challenges are resolved.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% to 48,861.81 at the close. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1% to 7,135.95 while the Nasdaq Composite rose less than 0.1% to 24,673.24. Utilities and materials were among decliners, while energy led the top gainers.President Donald Trump has instructed aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran, US officials told The Wall Street Journal. In recent meetings, including a Monday discussion in the Situation Room, Trump opted to continue squeezing Iran's economy and oil exports by preventing shipping to and from its ports, the WSJ reported."The blockade is somewhat more effective than the bombing," Trump told Axios on Wednesday. "They are choking like a stuffed pig. And it is going to be worse for them. They can't have a nuclear weapon."West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures soared 8.3% to $108.19, and Brent crude futures surged 7.8% to $119.95 amid concern that Trump's policy will prolong disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint for 20% of global crude oil flows.In precious metals, gold futures declined 1.1% to $4,557.9 and silver futures slid 2.7% to $71.24, as higher crude oil prices triggered inflation concerns.Most US Treasury yields rose, with the 10-year jumping seven basis points to 4.42% and the two-year catapulting 10.1 basis points to 3.95%.The FOMC maintained its target rate at 3.50% to 3.75%, as expected, but four officials dissented, its statement showed late Wednesday. The Fed, in its statement, maintained language stating the "extent and timing of additional adjustments," which implies a lingering bias toward additional rate cuts, according to a Stifel note."At the very least, the cohort of dissents sends a signal to both the market and new leadership that many agree the data do not support any additional accommodation at this point, and any push to implement such will potentially face fierce opposition," Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Stifel, said in the note.Fed Governor Stephen Miran again sought a 25-basis-point rate cut. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan supported holding rates steady but "did not support inclusion of an easing bias in the statement at this time," according to the Fed.Chair Powell said he will continue to serve as a Fed Governor after his term as chair ends next month. Powell's term as governor is due to end in January 2028, but he could leave before the expiry. "I will stay until it is appropriate for me to leave."

Equities Mixed Following Fed Pause; Oil Gains

US equities closed mixed Wednesday after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady at the end of what was likely Jerome Powell's last policy meeting as central bank chief.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% to 48,861.8, while the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 were little changed at 24,673.2 and 7,136, respectively. Most sectors ended in the red, led by utilities, while energy paced the gainers.The central bank's Federal Open Market Committee left its policy rate unchanged as policymakers saw the Middle East conflict fueling uncertainty around the US economic outlook.In a post-meeting press conference, Powell said he will stay on as a Fed governor for an indefinite period after his term as Fed chief expires on May 15. Earlier in the day, the US Senate Banking Committee voted to advance Kevin Warsh's nomination as Fed chair to the Republican-controlled Senate.Fed Governor Stephen Miran dissented from the majority at the meeting, preferring to reduce rates by a quarter percentage point, the FOMC said. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan supported the policy decision, but opposed including an easing bias in the statement.There were only minor changes to the policy statement, but overall sentiment "leaned slightly hawkish, with several participants voting against maintaining the current easing bias," TD Economics said in a report."It seems very unlikely that a Warsh Fed will quickly pivot to lowering interest rates," TD Senior Economist Thomas Feltmate said in a note. "Decisions are made by a majority vote, and it's becoming clear that many participants are reluctant to take rates any lower amid a resilient economy and still elevated inflationary pressures."Oil prices surged after President Donald Trump reportedly rejected an Iranian proposal to lift a US naval blockade. Brent crude was last up 7.5% at $119.62 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude jumped 7.8% to $107.70.Trump told Axios on Wednesday he will maintain the US naval blockade of Iranian ports until Tehran agrees to a nuclear deal. Iran wanted the Strait of Hormuz opened before the two sides could sit down to discuss uranium enrichment at a later stage.In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump said Iran "better get smart soon.""Crude oil has resumed its war-driven rally, with Brent rising almost non-stop since a brief mid-month tumble to ($86 per barrel), when hopes for a peace deal and a short-lived reopening of the Strait of Hormuz triggered a sharp but temporary correction," Saxo Bank Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen said in a report Wednesday.US Treasury yields were higher, with the 10-year rate up 6.4 basis points at 4.42% and the two-year rate rising 9.1 basis points to 3.94%.In company news, Visa (V) shares jumped 8.3%, the biggest gain on the Dow, after the payments giant lifted its full-year growth outlook and reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter results.NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) shares surged nearly 26%, the best performer on the S&P 500, after the company reported fiscal first-quarter results late Tuesday.Brown-Forman (BF.A, BF.B) class B shares slumped 10%, among the steepest declines on the S&P 500. The company said late Tuesday that it and Pernod Ricard terminated discussions regarding a potential business combination.Gold fell 1% at $4,560.50 per troy ounce, while silver dropped 1.5% to $72.14 per ounce.
