  • US Stocks, Bonds, and Gold Slide Amid Iran Conflict and Rising Oil Prices

The Russell 2000 index fell 2.7%, nearing correction territory (a 10% drop from peak). The Dow dropped 444 points (0.96%), S&P 500 fell 1.51%, Nasdaq slumped 2.01%, with the Nasdaq nearly in correction at down 9.65% since late October.

Gold plunged 2% on Friday, marking a 10% weekly loss. Brent crude rose 3.26% to $112.19 per barrel.
