  • Stock Futures Fall as Iran War Fuels Oil Supply Concerns
    March 12, 2026, 8:45 AM EDT. Stock futures dipped Thursday amid market jitters over the ongoing Iran war. Futures tied to major indexes fell 0.6%-0.8%. Crude oil futures surged 6% to $92.50 a barrel despite the International Energy Agency (IEA) releasing 400 million barrels from strategic reserves, a historic level double the 2022 release. The IEA warned of the "largest supply disruption in history" as oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz nearly halted, cutting Middle East production by 10 million barrels daily. The disruption has pushed crude prices up nearly 40% since February. Gold and bitcoin edged little changed. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.22%, marking over a month high. Adobe prepares to report earnings post-close amid tech sector pressure, while Honda reassesses its U.S. electric vehicle strategy after significant losses.
