U.S. oil benchmark prices climbed roughly 7% to about $73 a barrel, the highest level since early April. U.S. government borrowing costs climbed. Tech stocks like Nvidia and Tesla moved lower, while shares in oil and defense-industry firms like Chevron, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir traded up.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average close down nearly 770 points, or 1.7%. The S &P 500 declined 1.1%, while the tech-heavy index slid 1.3%. The jump in oil prices threatens to raise the price of gasoline for U.S. drivers, since crude oil makes up the top ingredient in car fuel.
