  • US Stock Market Plunges Amid Middle East Tensions, Oil Surge and Rising Yields
    March 12, 2026, 1:06 PM EDT. The US stock market experienced a sharp decline, with the Dow Jones dropping over 600 points, the S&P 500 falling 1.22%, and the Nasdaq sliding 1.66%. This sell-off was triggered by a surge in oil prices above $100 per barrel after attacks on Middle East energy infrastructure by Iran, which also threatened closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for 20% of global oil. Rising geopolitical risk, climbing US Treasury yields nearing 5%, and inflation concerns further pressured markets. Oil surged nearly 9%, while 30-year Treasury yields approached 4.87%, raising fears of higher borrowing costs. Investors responded by selling off stocks, particularly in technology and growth sectors sensitive to inflation and rate hikes. The market downturn illustrates intensified war risks combined with economic pressures shaking investor confidence.
