  • US Stocks Slip on Oil Surge, Undermining Rate-Cut Optimism Amid Fed Caution
    March 19, 2026, 3:34 PM EDT. U.S. stock markets fell sharply on Thursday as rising oil prices spooked investors, with the Dow down about 460 points and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq sliding 0.8% to 1%. Brent crude briefly surged above $119 a barrel before retreating, prompting risk aversion. The Russell 2000 small-cap index dropped into correction territory, down 10% from its January peak. Recent inflation data and Federal Reserve comments signaled persistent price pressures, tempering expectations for near-term interest rate cuts. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized readiness to act if energy costs push inflation higher, shifting projections upward for core inflation. Major banks including Morgan Stanley pushed back rate-cut forecasts to September, reflecting cautious sentiment. Meanwhile, labor market data showed resilience with a decline in jobless claims. Energy prices remain a critical variable as sustained highs could slow growth and keep inflation elevated globally.
