  • ASX Faces Sharp Decline as Wall Street Sinks Amid Middle East Tensions, Oil Soars
    March 22, 2026, 5:44 PM EDT. The ASX is poised to fall nearly 1.8% at open following another steep drop on Wall Street, where the S&P 500 lost 1.5% after volatile trading amid escalating tensions with Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump's shifting statements on Iran, including a 48-hour ultimatum, intensified market fears. Brent crude oil surged 3.3% above $112 a barrel, pushing inflation concerns higher and driving bond yields up. The conflict's potential duration beyond weeks worries investors, fueling sell-offs globally. Over the week, the ASX 200 declined 2.2%, Europe's market dropped 3.6%, while the U.S. S&P 500 nearly fell 2%. The Australian dollar gained 0.6% to 70.23 US cents, but gold and base metals like copper and aluminium continued to lose ground amid global slowdown fears.
