US stocks open higher as oil drops on peace hopes
In short
US stocks opened higher on Monday. Technology and AI shares steadied after October's selloff, and crude oil prices fell because of hopes for a US-Iran peace deal.
The Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite all rose at the open. This helps stocks for now, but the report does not say whether the gains will last or how the midterm election may affect trading.
