  • Global Stocks Plunge as Trump's Iran Ultimatum Spurs Market Volatility
    March 23, 2026, 2:33 AM EDT. Global stock markets tumbled sharply following U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to 'obliterate' Iran's power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz reopens. Key Asia-Pacific indices suffered heavy losses: Japan's Nikkei dropped 3.4%, China's CSI 300 shed 2.8%, and South Korea's KOSPI plunged 6.5%. Analysts warn the escalation risks a prolonged impact on energy markets amid retaliatory threats from Tehran to destroy critical infrastructure. Investor sentiment is further pressured by expectations of interest rate hikes to combat inflation, boosting the U.S. dollar as a safe-haven. The dollar index rose 0.2% while the pound weakened to $1.329. Gold prices slid 4.6% to a four-month low, reflecting diminished appeal amid anticipated rate increases. Experts describe the complex conflict as an 'escalation trap' with no clear resolution, intensifying market uncertainty.
