  • Dow, Nasdaq Near Correction Amid Fourth Weekly Loss; Iran War Pressures Markets
    March 20, 2026, 11:20 AM EDT. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq are closing out a fourth consecutive losing week, edging closer to correction territory-defined as a 10% drop from recent highs. The Dow fell 128 points (0.3%) while the Nasdaq declined 0.8% on Friday amid ongoing uncertainty from the Iran war, which has unsettled global markets. The Dow is down 8.6% from its February peak; the Nasdaq has lost 8.7%. Key tech stocks including CrowdStrike, Shopify, and Meta led the Nasdaq's declines. Historically, only six of 27 corrections since 1974 have turned into bear markets (20% losses). Market analysts note geopolitical shocks, like the Iran war, typically prompt short-term dips followed by rapid recoveries. Rising oil prices driven by tensions in the Middle East add to inflation concerns and economic uncertainty.
