US Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Six-Month Lows as Oil Surge Rattles Wall Street

Wall Street’s retreat accelerated on Friday, dragging both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to levels last seen more than six months ago. Tech names took the biggest hits as investors pulled out, while oil kept climbing—President Donald Trump’s 10-day warning to Iran failed to ease anxiety over the Strait of Hormuz. As of 11:40 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 305.57 points, a 0.66% drop. The S&P 500 slipped 0.70% to 6,432.06, while the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 1.10% to 21,171.61.

US Stock Market Today: Futures Rise After Nasdaq Correction as Oil Keeps Wall Street on Edge

U.S. stock futures ticked up early Friday, with President Donald Trump’s decision to give a 10-day extension on his deadline for Iranian power plant strikes providing Wall Street with a modest premarket lift.
