S&P 500 drops 0.5% as Brent crude jumps 3.4% back above $100 a barrel
AI Market Summary
Escalating U.S.-Iran conflict is disrupting crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing Brent up 3.4% back above $100 for the first time since July. The energy shock tightened financial conditions, with U.S. equities broadly lower (S&P -0.5%, Dow -0.8%, Nasdaq -0.6%) and Treasury yields higher. Near-term risk pricing should remain sensitive to further supply interruptions and headline-driven volatility.
