  • Stocks Fall as Bond Yields Rise Amid Iran Conflict and Inflation Concerns
    March 20, 2026, 12:32 PM EDT. Stocks fell across major U.S. indices, with the Nasdaq 100 hitting a 3.75-month low. The S&P 500 dipped 0.37%, the Dow Jones 0.10%, and Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.64%. Bond yields climbed, with the 10-year Treasury note yield reaching a 6.75-month high of 4.34%, driven by fears of rising inflation tied to escalating tensions from the ongoing Iran conflict. The war's 21st day saw Iranian attacks on Gulf states' energy infrastructure, disrupting oil supplies and pushing crude prices higher. Market volatility increased amid triple witching, with $5.7 trillion in options and futures contracts expiring. The U.S. considers taking control of Iran's key oil-export site to pressure reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Goldman Sachs warns crude could surpass 2008 record prices if disruptions persist.
