  • Historic Energy Supply Disruption and Stock Market Risks under President Trump
    April 5, 2026, 4:58 PM EDT. Stocks have delivered strong long-term returns but remain volatile. Since late February, the Dow and Nasdaq entered correction territory amid the Iran war and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil passage handling 20% of global demand. This shutdown triggered the largest historic energy supply disruption and pushed gas prices higher. Data from 86 years shows major geopolitical events typically see the S&P 500 rise after one year, except when oil price shocks occur, which often lead to significant market downturns or crashes. Investors monitor if current conditions under President Trump's administration may ignite a broader stock market crash as uncertainty persists.
