  • Stocks Plunge as US Plans to Escalate Iran War Weigh on Markets
    March 23, 2026, 3:08 AM EDT. Stocks tumbled Friday, with the S&P 500 dropping 1.51%, Dow down 0.96%, and Nasdaq 100 plunging 1.88% to their lowest in over six months. The sell-off followed reports of U.S. Pentagon preparations for deploying ground troops to Iran and considerations to seize Iran's Kharg Island, a strategic oil-export site. Rising energy costs from the conflict stoked fears of higher inflation and slower economic growth. Global bond yields surged, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hitting a 7.5-month peak at 4.39%. The war in Iran extended into its 21st day, disrupting around 7.5% of global oil supply amid attacks on Gulf shipping and refinery shutdowns. Crude oil prices remain elevated, with Goldman Sachs warning prices could surpass the 2008 record if Strait of Hormuz flows stay restricted. Markets assign a 12% chance to a Federal Reserve rate hike in April.
