Stock Market Today

  • Rising Oil Prices Weigh on Stocks and Dash Hopes for Fed Rate Cuts
    March 23, 2026, 7:20 AM EDT. Oil prices surged again, with Brent crude up 3.3% to $112.19 a barrel and U.S. crude rising 2.3% to $98.32. This jump rattled stock markets, pushing the S&P 500 down 1.5% for its fourth consecutive weekly loss, the longest stretch in a year. The Dow declined 443 points (1%), and Nasdaq fell 2%. Higher oil prices are fueling inflation fears amid the Iran conflict, driving up Treasury yields and crushing expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts this year. According to CME Group data, most traders no longer anticipate rate cuts, with some betting on hikes in 2026-a stark shift from pre-war forecasts. Elevated borrowing costs could slow economic growth and pressure investment valuations further.
