Global markets opened mixed as Middle East conflict continues disrupting oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz. Japan and Germany plan releasing emergency oil reserves to offset supply declines, with oil prices rising toward $85 per barrel. Tech stocks provided bright spots, particularly chip manufacturers Micron and AMD gaining approximately 3% each. Oracle delivered strong Q3 earnings exceeding estimates with positive 2027 guidance, driving shares up 14% and supporting the broader software sector. Despite today's gains, Oracle remains down 13% year-to-date. The Dow declined 0.33%, while Nasdaq and S&P 500 posted modest gains of 0.58% and 0.22% respectively.
