NEW YORK NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2017 / Falling oil prices dragged markets lower Monday after Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates all severed diplomatic relations with Qatar. U.S. crude futures dropped 0.55 percent to close at $47.40 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.10 percent to close at 21,184.04, while the S&P 500 Index declined 0.12 percent to close at 2,436.10.
"Generally, increased tensions in the Middle East props up oil prices with a fear bid, but the dynamic of this Qatar issue is different because it is largely between Saudi Arabia and Iran," Tyler Richey, Co-Editor of the Sevens Report, told MarketWatch.
