NEW YORK -U.S. stocks closed sharply lower on Monday, as an early lift from a strong retail sales report gave way to a jump in Treasury yields and concerns about rising geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel.coming off its biggest one-day percentage drop since Jan. 31 in the prior session, stocks opened higher in part after data showed retail sales increased by more than expected in March.
"You saw a little bit of a bounce this morning because maybe people thought 'OK it sold off on Friday' in anticipation of something really bad happening in the Middle East," said Ken Polcari, managing partner at Kace Capital Advisors in Boca Raton, Florida. Israel faced growing pressure from allies to show restraint and avoid an escalation of conflict in the Middle East as it considered how to respond to Iran's weekend missile and drone attack, launched after a suspected Israeli attack on its embassy.
