# US Equity Markets End Higher Despite Renewed US-Iran Tensions

04:15 PM EDT, 05/11/2026 (MT Newswires) -- US equity indexes ended higher on Monday even as President Donald Trump rejected Iran's response to a US proposal to restart peace talks, sending oil prices higher.

\* The US and Iran remained far apart on a framework to end their war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump calling Tehran's reply to his proposed peace plan "a piece of garbage," Bloomberg reported.

\* US existing home sales rose 0.2% to a 4.02 million annual rate in April from 4.01 million in March, below the 4.05 million expected in a Bloomberg survey.

\* June West Texas Intermediate crude oil rose $2.74 to settle at $98.16 per barrel, while July Brent crude, the global benchmark, was last seen up $2.94 at $104.23.

\* Lumentum Holdings ( LITE ) shares rose 17%, the top gainer on the S&P 500. The stock will be added to the Nasdaq 100 effective May 18.

\* Trade Desk ( TTD ) shares fell 6.8%, the third-biggest decline on the S&P, after HSBC downgraded the stock to reduce from hold and cut its price target to $20 from $31.
