US equities face a defensive tone as crude oil climbed for a second straight session on Middle East supply worries, with the Iran standoff unresolved despite separate talks with mediators. The dollar held near a two-month peak as Treasury yields rose ahead of key US economic data, while gold lingered near a seven-week low, a sign that safe-haven flows favored the currency over bullion. A possible US-Canada trade deal within weeks offered a cooperative note, though geopolitical risk kept the broader mood cautious.
