Here's your closing bell brief from Monday, March 2nd. I'm Catherine Sullivan for the Wall Street Journal.

U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran this weekend. The Dow fell 0.2% today, the S&P 500 was nearly flat.

The NASDAQ, however, rose 0.4%. Investors moved towards

safe assets like gold and the U.S. dollar. Oil prices surged as strikes in Iran threatened

to energy infrastructure. Treasury yields also pushed higher due to concerns about rising inflation.

Among individual companies, United Airlines shares dropped

nearly 3 percent. The carrier extended flight cancellations to avoid conflict zones in the Middle East.

Lockheed Martin stock jumped over 3 percent as defense and aerospace stocks rallied. Investors reacted

to the increasing military conflict involving Iran.

Norwegian cruise line shares plunged 10.5%. The cruise line operator issued a disappointing outlook

and faces potentially higher fuel costs amid the Middle East conflict. Invitya stock gained 3% today.

The chipmaker plans to unveil a new processor for artificial intelligence.

And Elevance health shares slid 8%. Regulators threatened to block the insurer from

enrolling new Medicare customers due to alleged violations of data reporting rules.
