U.S. stocks rose as a rebound in oil prices lifted energy companies, outweighing a rout in tech giants prompted by a report that the government is considering antitrust investigations. Energy producers led gains in the S&P 500 Index as crude jumped after Saudi Arabia offered reassurance that OPEC will keep global markets in balance. The yield on two-year Treasuries headed for its biggest two-day decline since January 2008. After a brutal month for most asset classes except bonds, June began with no let-up in geopolitical risks and economic concern. China implemented retaliatory tariffs and data showed global factories took another knock last month from trade tensions, adding to fear over a slowdown. A U.S. manufacturing index fell to its lowest level in almost a decade amid a fresh warning from Wall Street about recession risks. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's tariff moves against Mexico last week sparked a wave of forecast revisions. A global recession could start within 9 months if the U.S. imposes 25% tariffs on an additional $300 billion of Chinese exports and Beijing retaliates, according to Morgan Stanley. Separately, JPMorgan said the probability of a U.S. recession in the second half of this year had risen to 40% from 25% a month ago. Currently, the TSX is up 0.39% and the DJIA is up 0.44%.
