NASDAQ:KYMR.O 2 January 2026

April 2, 2026, 12:07 PM EDT. The U.S. stock market stumbled following President Donald Trump's national address on the Iran conflict. Nasdaq futures dropped 1.9%, the S&P 500 fell 1.5%, and the Dow Jones slid 1.4% early Tuesday. By mid-morning, markets partially recovered, but investors remained cautious. Crude oil prices surged, with West Texas Intermediate rising 13% to over $113 a barrel, marking the highest level since early 2024. Trump's speech suggested the war with Iran, initiated Feb. 28 by U.S. and Israeli strikes, would conclude in weeks, but uncertainty endures. Rising gas costs above $4 per gallon and fears of a global recession linked to the ongoing conflict contributed to market volatility and investor skepticism.
