  • Markets End Lower Amid Oil Surge; Jones Act Waiver Considered; Target Cuts Prices
    March 13, 2026, 5:17 PM EDT. U.S. stock indexes-the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq-closed lower for a third consecutive week, pressured by soaring oil prices triggered by the Middle East conflict. Brent crude remains significantly elevated despite a recent retreat from $100 per barrel. The Trump administration is mulling a 30-day waiver of the Jones Act, a century-old law requiring domestic shipping. This waiver would temporarily allow foreign vessels to transport fuel between U.S. ports to ease supply chain disruptions caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure. Experts remain skeptical about its impact on oil prices. Meanwhile, Target announced major price cuts on over 3,000 items to regain market share from discount rivals, aiming to attract value-conscious shoppers under new CEO Michael Fiddelke.
