  • Value Stocks Rally Threatened by Middle East Conflict Amid Market Turbulence
    April 5, 2026, 8:41 AM EDT. Value stocks, considered safer investments trading at low price-to-book ratios, have outperformed growth stocks and major indexes in 2024. The Russell 1000 Value Index is up 2.4% year-to-date, beating the Russell 1000 Growth Index by more than 11 percentage points. However, the recent escalation of the Middle East conflict, particularly involving Iran, has rattled markets, sending oil prices higher and causing the Russell 1000 Value Index to drop 4.3% since late February. Key value stocks like Nike, Lennar, and Southwest Airlines have seen sharp declines. Energy stocks, benefiting from higher oil prices due to tensions near the Strait of Hormuz, have gained 33% this year, leading the S&P 500 sectors. Investors now await crucial data on manufacturing, inflation, and corporate earnings for clues on economic stability.
