(Reuters) -Oil prices tumbled 6% on Monday, or more than $4 a barrel, after Saturday's retaliatory strike by Israel against Iran's military bypassed oil and nuclear facilities, not disrupting energy supplies.
Brent futures settled at $71.42 a barrel, down $4.63 or 6.09%. WTI U.S. crude futures finished at $67.38 a barrel, down $4.40 or 6.13%.
Both Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures hit their lowest since Oct. 1 at the open.
"This is a perfect example of a headline-driven market," said Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group. "We still have a lot of geopolitical risk."
U.S. stocks finished higher on Monday as Wall Street geared up for a busy week packed with quarterly earnings from megacap technology companies.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 273.17 points, or 0.7%, to end at 42,387.57. It was the largest one-day point and percentage gain since Oct. 16.
The S&P 500 was up 15.40 points, or 0.3%, to finish at 5,823.52.
The Nasdaq Composite gained 48.58 points, or 0.3%, ending at 18,567.19.
Monday's stock market rally came as oil futures suffered their largest daily percentage decline in over two years after widely anticipated Israeli airstrikes against Iran did not hit crucial oil facilities.
The S&P 500's energy sector was the worst performer on the large-cap benchmark index, off 0.7%, according to FactSet data.
Looking ahead, five of the so-called Magnificent Seven companies are scheduled to report their earnings results this week. Google parent Alphabet Inc. is scheduled to report on Tuesday, followed on Wednesday by Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. will report on Thursday.
