Major US stock indices rose on Wednesday amid rising oil prices after Donald Trump pulled the United States out of a nuclear deal with Iran.

In addition, as it became known, wholesale stocks in the US increased less than originally expected in March, amid a decline in car stocks and a number of other goods. The Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday that wholesale stocks rose 0.3% instead of 0.5%, which it reported last month. Stocks of wholesalers in February rose by 0.9%. The component of wholesale stocks, which goes into the calculation of gross domestic product - wholesale stocks, excluding auto, - increased by 0.4% in March.

At the same time, producer prices in the US increased slightly last month, becoming a possible sign that inflationary pressures remain relatively modest in the economy. The producer price index, a measure of the prices charged by companies for their goods and services, increased seasonally by 0.1% in April compared with the previous month, the Ministry of Labor said on Wednesday. Economists forecast an increase of 0.2%. Since last year, producer prices have increased by 2.6% last month, which is the smallest annual increase since December.

Oil prices rose by almost 3%, reaching 3.5-year highs, after US President Trump refused a nuclear deal with Iran and announced the imposition of economic sanctions against a member of OPEC at "the highest level"
