The U.S. stock market in New York opened with mixed movements shortly after the opening bell at 10:30 p.m. on the 24th, Korean time.

The trends of major indices in early trading today are as follows: • Dow Jones Industrial Average: 51,791.37 (up 79.72 points, or 0.15%, from the previous trading day) - Slightly higher • S&P 500 Index: 7,408.76 (up 0.66 points, or 0.01%) - Flat • Nasdaq Composite Index: 25,099.53 (down 38.16 points, or 0.15%) - Lower

The market is keeping a close watch on geopolitical risks stemming from escalating military tensions between the United States and Iran, as well as the impact of a surge in international oil prices. With risk appetite somewhat dampened, sector-level differentiation is emerging, causing major indices to move in divergent directions.

In particular, as concerns grow that the recent rise in international oil prices could reignite inflation fears, investors are on high alert for the future direction of U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy and Treasury yield movements.

Upcoming major economic indicators, corporate earnings, and developments in the Middle East situation are cited as key variables that will determine investor sentiment during the session. Market attention is focused on whether the New York stock market, which began with mixed movements in early trading, will tilt toward gains or losses as trading continues.
