The decline follows a US strike near Iran's Kharg Island, escalating geopolitical tensions and pushing oil prices sharply higher, with Brent crude surpassing $111 per barrel and WTI nearing $116. Market uncertainty over potential disruption in the Strait of Hormuz-a crucial oil transit route-spurred a flight from equities toward safer assets. Precious metals fell as investors booked profits amid volatility. The turmoil is amplified by fears of further military conflict and disrupted energy supplies, shaking investor confidence and triggering rapid sell-offs across major indices.
