Unpredictable Stock Market: The Impact of the Middle East War with Iran
The US stock market has been in a volatile state since the start of the Middle East war with Iran, with a distinct weekly pattern emerging. The market surges from Monday to Wednesday, stagnates midweek, and plummets on Thursday and Friday. This pattern is not limited to the US, affecting Europe and emerging markets as well. The uncertainty of weekend war news and President Trumps tendency to make significant moves when markets are closed have investors playing it safe, particularly by de-risking late in the week. The S&P 500 initially gained over three percent on hopes of a Trump pullback, but a Wednesday night address vowing continued bombardment led to a dip in futures and a rise in oil prices, setting up another Thursday slide. With no ceasefire in sight, oil prices remain high, and experts doubt the weekly bounces will hold, keeping traders on edge week after week.
