Major Indexes Finish Mixed as the Israel-Iran Cease-Fire Holds - Minute Briefing
Full Transcript This transcript was prepared by a transcription service. This version may not be in its final form and may be updated. Julia Carpenter: Here's your closing bell brief for Wednesday, June 25th. I'm Julia Carpenter for the Wall Street Journal. The three major indexes ended the day mixed as the Iran-Israel ceasefire held steady. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 107 points to close at 42,982. The S&P 500 stayed roughly flat, and the Nasdaq gained 61 points. US oil prices climbed slightly higher today. Even as the Israel Iran ceasefire appears fragile, analysts said as long as both countries refrain from attacking energy export infrastructure or disrupting shipping, oil prices could likely remain muted. Meanwhile, Jerome Powell returned for his second day of congressional testimony. President Trump said he's reviewing new candidates to replace the Federal Reserve Chairman once Powell's term ends in 2026. In individual companies trading today, after new car registrations for Tesla fell across the European Union signaling a steep sales decline, shares of the electric car company dropped 3.8%. Shares of FedEx dropped 3.3% after the shipping company said it expected to lose $170 million this quarter as a result of President Trump's tariffs. The administration's change in rules led to a much lower demand for packages shipped from China to the US. Rival UPS shares also fell 1.2%. And after posting better than expected quarterly results, shares of BlackBerry, the cybersecurity company, shot up 12.5%.

It's Time to Revisit the President's War Powers
For now the question whether President Trump needed congressional authorization to take military action against Iran is academic. Nevertheless, Peggy Noonan is right that the framers vested Congress, not the president, with the power to declare war ('Iraq's Shadow Over the Iran Debate,' Declarations, June 21). That power is in tension with the fact, underscored by the Supreme Court's Civil War-era Prize Cases, that the president has not merely the authority but the duty to quell foreign threats to American national security and vital interests. The matter of whether there is such a viable threat is a political one, left by the Constitution to officials electorally accountable to the people whose lives are at stake. It is nonjusticiable: Congress must vindicate its own authority because the courts won't.
