A monitor displays the day's market statistics as traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York on April 16, 2026. Wall Street stocks were little changed early Thursday, lingering near records amid hopes for a resolution of the US-Iran war as markets continue to shrug off economic effects.
