  • Historic Energy Supply Disruptions and Stock Market Risk Under Trump
    April 4, 2026, 4:37 AM EDT. Stock market corrections have hit major indexes like the Dow Jones and Nasdaq amid geopolitical tensions. Since the Feb. 28 U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz - a key oil passage supplying 20% of global demand - has triggered the largest energy supply disruption in history. This has pushed gas prices sharply higher and sparked investor anxiety. Reviewing 86 years of data through 43 major geopolitical events, Carson Group strategist Ryan Detrick finds that while most events precede market rebounds within a year, oil price shocks present a greater risk of significant downside or crashes. The current crisis under President Donald Trump's tenure underscores the link between energy supply turmoil and stock market volatility.
