Stock market today: World shares slip and the yen weakens against the dollar

Germany's DAX shed 0.7% to 19,026.36 while the CAC 40 in Paris gave up 0.8% to 7,514.49. In London, the FTSE 100 gained 0.2% to 8,307.45.The U.S. dollar gained against the Japanese yen as officials indicated that conditions were not conducive for an interest rate hike.

Israel is not a major producer of oil, but Iran is, and a worry is that a broadening war could affect neighboring countries that are also integral to the flow of crude.

In the bond market, Treasury yields rose after a report by ADP Research indicated that hiring by U.S. employers outside the government may have been stronger last month than expected. That could auger well for the government's more comprehensive report on the U.S. job market due out Friday.
