Stock Market Today

  • Stocks Slip as US-Iran Ceasefire Optimism Wanes; Oil Prices Surge
    April 9, 2026, 12:18 PM EDT. Stocks dipped as S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 indexes retreated following fading optimism over a US-Iran ceasefire. June E-mini futures reflected this softening trend. Crude oil jumped over 5%, driven by the Strait of Hormuz blockade and escalating tensions from Israeli-Lebanon clashes, threatening the fragile truce. Both the US and Iran accused each other of ceasefire breaches, complicating Saturday's talks. U.S. economic data disappointed, with rising unemployment claims, weaker personal income and spending, and downwardly revised Q4 GDP growth adding pressure. Oil tanker restrictions amplified shipping delays, with over 1,000 vessels waiting near the strait, historically a key global energy transit route. Markets price in only a 2% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike in late April, while overseas shares also fell, weighing on sentiment.
