The major averages were broadly lower near noon amid a sharp increase in oil prices and bond yields following the latest developments out of the Middle East.

Markets are firmly back in risk-off mode as the brief relief trade from earlier in the week gives way to renewed escalation in the Middle East and a fresh surge in energy prices.In response to Iran's rejection, President Donald Trump took to social media to say that Iran "better get serious soon," going so far as to label Iranian negotiators as "very different" and "strange." Meanwhile, Gulf countries issued a joint statement condemning Iran's "criminal" strikes from Iraqi territory on their energy infrastructure.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.
