  • Oil Prices Surge and Stocks End Week Mixed After Trump's Iran Address
    April 3, 2026, 7:32 AM EDT. Oil prices surged over 11% after President Trump's national address signaled continued U.S. attacks on Iran without a clear end timeline, pushing U.S. crude above $111 per barrel. This spike, amid restricted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz where a fifth of global oil transits, caused early stock market losses. Despite this, the S&P 500 managed a modest 0.1% gain to 6,582.69, marking its first weekly rise since the Iran conflict began, up 3.4% for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 61 points, or 0.1%, to 46,504.67, while the Nasdaq rose 0.2% to 21,879.18. Markets will close Friday for Good Friday. Elevated crude prices remain a key driver of volatile global stock movements.
