Stocks extended their slide as the US and Iran remained deadlocked over ending nearly three months of conflict, pulling global equities further from record highs reached during the artificial intelligence-driven rally. Oil rose and Treasuries fell.

Asian shares slipped 0.2% on Monday. Futures on the S&P 500 Index fell 0.5% and those for the Nasdaq 100 Index dropped 0.8% after the underlying gauges declined more than 1% on Friday as inflation concerns sent bond yields sharply higher. The dollar, the haven of choice during the Middle East conflict, held its gains after its best week since early March.
