Trump's Verbal Easing Fails as Oil Prices Surge and U.S. Stock Market Panics
March 27, 2026, 11:19 PM EDT. Crude oil prices surged to $112.57 per barrel, the highest since July 2022, driven by physical supply constraints amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite three attempts by former President Donald Trump to ease market fears via verbal interventions, confidence has eroded. The S&P 500 posted its fifth consecutive weekly decline, with the Nasdaq falling over 10%, and the Dow Jones entering a technical correction. Analysts warn the worst panic is yet to come as market sentiment weakens amid persistent geopolitical risks. Barclays noted the fading impact of the so-called 'Trump put'-investors' prior reliance on Trump's policy reassurance-highlighting a shift toward skepticism and demand for concrete evidence.
