At the same time, geopolitical tensions continue to test investors.

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump threatened to increase sanctions against Iran, which could be announced as soon as Monday. Further impetus in the country would expand a press campaign that the United States began last year, after Trump removed the US from a nuclear power agreement for 2015 and imposed sanctions to push Iran to accept limits to its nuclear program.

Trump's threats come after a number of recent attacks on oil tankers in or near the Hormuz Strait, a major passage for oil transit.
