  • Stocks Tumble on Iran Conflict Escalation and Hawkish Fed Powell Comments
    March 19, 2026, 12:50 AM EDT. Stocks fell sharply Wednesday, with the S&P 500 down 1.36% and the Dow hitting a 3.75-month low. The selloff followed stronger-than-expected U.S. producer price inflation data, indicating persistent price pressures. Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Iran targeted energy infrastructure in Gulf states, driving crude oil prices higher. Fed Chair Powell warned that elevated energy costs would sustain inflation and signaled no rate cuts unless inflation declines. Treasury yields rose, with the 10-year Treasury note hitting 4.25%. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%, projecting a modest economic growth rebound in 2026 alongside slightly higher inflation. Mortgage applications dropped sharply, and mortgage rates edged up. Geopolitical and inflation concerns weighed on market sentiment, intensifying volatility amid ongoing Iran-Israel conflict and hawkish U.S. monetary policy.
