US Stock Markets Fall for Fourth Week Amid US-Israel Conflict Impacting Oil Prices
March 20, 2026, 4:29 PM EDT. US stock markets declined for the fourth consecutive week amid escalating tensions from the US-Israel conflict with Iran. The Dow dropped over 400 points, the S&P 500 fell 1.5%, and Nasdaq slipped 2%, while the Russell 2000 small-cap index entered correction territory after a 2.7% fall. Brent crude oil prices surged to $107 a barrel due to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on key energy infrastructure, pushing US gas prices above $3.88 per gallon nationwide. The Pentagon deployed 2,200 marines to the Middle East as uncertainty about the conflict's duration and economic impact lingered. Market volatility is driven by oil price spikes affecting transportation and agriculture costs globally.
