NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks edged further away from their recent records on Thursday as Wall Street faced pressure from rising oil prices and mixed company earnings. Oil prices gained ground as uncertainty remains over the U.S. war with Iran that has stifled the global flow of oil. Oil prices surged as high as $113 during the conflict and higher prices have added more heat to inflation by raising the price of gasoline and raising costs for shipping. Households are still spending and the jobs market remains resilient, but worries linger for both areas of the economy. Worries about inflation and the jobs market have prompted the Federal Reserve to hold its benchmark interest rate steady.
