Dow slips as oil rises after Trump Oman threat

The move came after President Donald Trump signaled potential action related to Oman, lifting crude and weighing on US stocks.

Monday, August 17, 2026 · Written up by our desk · Indices

US stocks fell in early trading Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipping alongside other major US indexes, according to coverage from Yahoo Finance.

The selloff coincided with a rise in oil prices after President Donald Trump issued a threat tied to Oman, a catalyst that lifted energy-related sentiment.

Yahoo Finance also noted that an energy stock cleared a key entry level, while the overall market mood turned cautious as the session played out.
