Snippet:
The US stock market is rising toward more records after GE Vernova, Boston Scientific and other big companies joined the list of those reporting fatter profits for the start of the year than analysts expected. But caution is still hanging over Wall Street, and oil prices are also rising on uncertainty about what will happen in the war with Iran.
