Overseas markets were modestly higher as worries recede over the U.S.-Iranian conflict. Major U.S. indexes remained near the record highs they set a day earlier. The S&P 500 rose 1 point to 3,276. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 21 points, or 0.1%, to 28,933. The Nasdaq edged up 1 point to 9,203.
