  • March U.S. Inflation Data Could Trigger Major Stock Market Move Amid Iran War Impact
    April 10, 2026, 4:19 AM EDT. The highly anticipated March inflation report, set for release by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at 8:30 a.m. ET, is expected to significantly move the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq. This report is the first to reflect pricing impacted by the Iran war, which has disrupted oil supplies following Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Crude oil prices have surged past $100 per barrel, pushing U.S. gasoline prices to levels not seen in three decades. With inflation expected to spike, the Federal Reserve may halt its interest rate cuts, challenging the current stock market rally fueled by low borrowing costs and AI-driven optimism. Investors are watching closely, as this report could mark a pivotal moment for equities and monetary policy.
