## Resource

Oil prices surged Monday amid escalating Middle East tensions as Israel expanded military operations into Lebanon, threatening to derail peace talks scheduled for June—just days after a fragile ceasefire. Meanwhile, global markets mixed: Asian indices rose and fell, while U.S. futures held steady after a stellar week for Wall Street, fueled by tech stocks that drove the S&P 500 to a fourth straight all-time high.
