U.S. stock markets opened higher on Monday, with major indices reaching new record highs despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and elevated commodity prices.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both hit record levels during early trading, with the technology sector providing significant support to the broader market gains. The advance came as investors appeared to look past regional conflicts and economic uncertainties.

Commodity markets showed mixed responses to the geopolitical situation. While energy prices remained elevated, copper prices showed resilience and moved toward potential record territory, suggesting continued industrial demand despite Middle East uncertainties.

The market's performance highlighted investors' focus on corporate fundamentals and sector-specific drivers rather than broader geopolitical risks. Technology stocks in particular contributed to the indices' strong showing during the session.

The trading session demonstrated how financial markets can diverge from immediate geopolitical concerns, with different asset classes responding in varied ways to the same underlying uncertainties.
