  • US Stock Market Plunges Amid Iran Tensions and Surging Oil Prices
    April 7, 2026, 12:17 PM EDT. The US stock market crashed with the Dow Jones down 181 points, S&P 500 falling 0.68%, and Nasdaq dropping nearly 1.2%. The decline follows a US strike near Iran's Kharg Island, escalating geopolitical tensions and pushing oil prices sharply higher, with Brent crude surpassing $111 per barrel and WTI nearing $116. Market uncertainty over potential disruption in the Strait of Hormuz-a crucial oil transit route-spurred a flight from equities toward safer assets.
