WASHINGTON :U.S. stocks pared gains on Tuesday after manufacturing data showed expansion amid rising commodity prices and shortages of materials, while oil rose and global equities hit a record high as markets rode concerns of rising inflation.

All three major indexes were trading off from larger gains notched earlier in the session, leaving U.S. stocks mixed. "Markets are letting the macroeconomic data lead the way with Treasury prices lower and yields higher after strong numbers this morning," said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Independent Advisor Alliance in Charlotte, North Carolina, adding that news of oil supplies rapidly drawing down, which will lead to higher oil prices, has prompted traders.

Oil prices, meanwhile, extended gains ahead of an OPEC+ meeting and on optimism that fuel demand will grow in coming months as the U.S. summer driving season gets under way. U.S. crude recently rose 3.5per cent to US$68.64 per barrel and Brent was at US$71.15, up 2.64per cent on the day.

North Korea slams end to U.S. guidelines limiting South Korea missile rangeNorth Korea's state media on Monday criticised the recent termination of a pact between the United States and South Korea that capped the development of South Korea's ballistic missiles, calling it a sign of Washington's 'shameful double-dealing.' South Korean President Moon Jae-in announced the abolishment of the joint missile guidelines that had limited the country's development of ballistic missiles to a range of 800 km (500 miles) after his first summit with U.S. President Joe Biden earlier this month. North Korea's official KCNA news agency carried an article by Kim Myong Chol, who it described as an 'international affairs critic,' to accuse the United States of applying a double standard as it sought to ban Pyongyang from developing ballistic missiles.
