US stocks opened lower on Monday as President Trump rejected an Iranian peace proposal, causing oil prices to spike. This led to increased inflation fears, which in turn influenced Treasury yields to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 both saw significant declines as a result. The market is now closely watching the situation amid heightened geopolitical tensions, which could have a lasting impact on the economy and trade.
